I forgot all about this movie. That’s why we need companies like shout factory!

I remember watching this movie as a kid and for some reason it always stuck in my mind.

My 80s horror radar totally missed this gem, and I was getting Fangoria too in those days. Great trailer, as all the 80s horror trailers were

I saw this as a kid and I loved it . I see it at cd exchange and I still haven’t bought it. I might now, who knows.
I’m glad she made more movies, I feel like I grew up with her as an Actress and she always was good in each movie for the times we lived in.
This movie made me live Ai or Robots living among us.
The 80s will always be awesome for me.

I'll never forget that damn basketball kill. I remember seeing as a kid and it made my jaw drop. It came out of nowhere, lol.

[brentisit]

This is the way trailers should be. Today's trailers show you the whole damn movie!!!

[Ken-voki]

One of my favs since I saw it on Joe Bob Briggs Monstervision back in the day. I remember loving the drive in totals on this one.

[delfredmarshall]

"Paul stay with me. Bebe" That gave me chills when I first saw it

[davenoyes]

at 40 seconds in: "mom always said don't play ball in the house"

[daved]

I saw this at the theater when it came out. I was 14. Looking at how old this trailer looks makes me feel old.

[foxtrotwhiskey]

i watched it in 87, i was 7 yr old, i cried in the end.

[metaljunkey]

I remember seeing this movie in a TV show that featured 80s horror movies a long time ago in cable tv, but I can't remember. it always started with a host that looked like a vampire, and every episode was a different movie.

[toddkane]

Had super early memories of this film, being plopped in front of HBO as a kiddo. The robot thing was exciting.

[tonymata]

I’m sad that the original cut couldn’t be found but I give Scream Factory credit for trying like what they did with Event Horizon and the upcoming release of Nothing But Trouble, I’m happy that this film is getting a HD release and it’s going to look amazing.
