Death Machine Review

Review of Death Machine (1994) by screenqueeen: 👍 3.5/5

The production design is so much in my wheelhouse of ROBOCOP ripoff-in-aesthetic-only and the script's transparent cheesiness just helps you get comfortable with the 90s high-tech madness it throws at you. Dourif is at his pastiest and, seeing his well-played yet tongue-in-cheek role, he's roughly one wallet chain and a pair of sunglasses away from informing Tommy Wiseau's entire look. The Warbeast has more in common with a Xenomorph than Murphy's tin can nemesis ED-209 but (in the version I watched) doesn't quite get its bloody due for its intended desire to plunge into ultraviolence. Still hits the target though.
