A couple of 80s sci-fi B movies
Runaway
Killer domestic robots running amok, it was fun to see fairly accurate drones used in a nearly 35 year old movie. This Michael Crichton movie came out just a few weeks after the original Terminator but it was surprising how much the finale was actually quite reminiscent of T2, and seeing the main baddie (Gene Simmons!) as an L.A cop with black slick backed hair checking out Tom Selleck's sons address on a CRT monitor was just too much. James Cameron has definitely seen this film! No classic but good cheesy fun.
The Hidden
Finally picked up a R1 version of this due to it inexplicably being ignored for release over here. Seen this one load of times but fancied a refresher before I check out Scrib's edit when it's done. A cracking mash up of Terminator and Invasion of the Body Snatchers
