This is more obviously a nineties film directed by Richard Stamley, previously a pop video director. Inspired by a short story in 2000 AD, though Stanley had to be taken to court to admit that, it takes place in a poisoned ,over-industrialised future. A nomad finds a discarded robot head which is purchased by a soldier Moses ( Dylan McDermott ) as a Christmas present for his girlfriend Jill. The robot, a military killing machine manages to re-assemble itself and terrorise her. An early example of the cyberpunk genre, this has enough good ideas and visual style to make it worthwhile even if the script could do with a polish.

Stacey should have had top billing over McDermott for this as she has more screen time and proves hersel a very capable action heroine.
