This is a film which got a decent amount of HBO airplay while I was young (pre-teen). I remembered being terrified of Hector the robot when I first saw it, but little else (including the name of the film).
When I saw the robot pictured on the front of a recent (Dec 2013) Blu Ray release, my reaction was immediate. I knew needed to revisit this film. So I did. And as an adult, I found it terrifying for a different set of reasons. For starters:
1) The acting (or lack thereof)
2) The complete disregard for pacing
3) Keitel's voice (or rather -- Ray Dotrice's voice)
I'd love to hear the team react to this film.
