R.O.T.O.R.

About This Movie

R.O.T.O.R. is one of those strange entries in the 80s sci-fi/action landscape. It feels like it was made in a rush but still manages to capture a certain charm. The atmosphere is gritty, with a palpable sense of dread as this rogue robot goes on a spree. The practical effects are a mixed bag, but there's something to appreciate in the craftsmanship of the robot itself, even if it doesn't quite look menacing. Performances lean towards the melodramatic, which adds an odd layer to the film's appeal. Themes of technology turning against humanity are explored, albeit in a rather clunky way. You'll find yourself questioning how this even got made, which is part of its allure.
