This 1986 Wes Craven movie was so hacked about by the studio following negative test screenings that Craven ended up disowning it. It's obvious something's amiss with the sudden changes in tone from touching family drama to extreme gore-fest and back again and the switch in antagonist from annoying robot ( that doesn't die a moment too soon ) to hot babe. It's largely watchable though.
Kristy Swanson ( as Samantha )
Sex : Some hints of incest but nothing shown
Death : Dies twice, firstly from head injuries after falling down stairs and secondly from being shot by police.
Kristy was born in California and started appearing in commercials aged 9. This was her first major role after bit parts in Pretty In Pink and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Real stardom eluded her, being best remembered for playing the title role in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie but her career is still ongoing
Anne Twomey ( as Jeannie )
Sex : No
Death : survives
Anne hails from Massachusetts . She made her reputation as a stage actress and made relatively few films,this one being her second. She was more often found on TV with recurring roles in L.A. Law and Third Watch. She retired in 2003.
