Here's an overlooked Wes Craven movie that was overshadowed by his film Nightmare On Elm St.. You can see how the success of Short Circuit was a direct influence in the making of this film. A college student / scientist and his mom move into a new neighborhood with his robot. The girl next door starts hanging out with him until her crazed father beats her to death. The kid's robot gets shot up by that old lady from Throw Mama From The Train so he takes the microchip brain out of it and puts it in the dead girl's head. She comes back to life as a hybrid of the robot and her former self. Then she starts slaughtering. The pace is quick, it's pure mid-80's trash, and you'll love it. Available at both Vulcan locations on DVD and I Luv Video in the Horror Directors section on the Wes Craven shelf on VHS.
