8. Hardware (1990)

You are no doubt familiar with The Terminator. It's the story of a relentless machine trying to murder humans. But imagine if one of those robots lived in a post-apocalyptic world and had all the schlocky energy of a 90s B-movie. If that sounds like you're cup of tea, then you'd better get a mug ready for this bombastic sci-fi tale. 

Hardware tells the story of a woman's attempts to survive in her apartment as a cyborg head purchased for her by her boyfriend slowly rebuilds itself and goes on a chaotic murder spree. It's a terrifying survival tale with a relentless mechanical antagonist. 

The film gives you exactly what it says on the tin, opening with a slow-build introduction to the ravaged world of tomorrow before launching into a tirade of murder and mayhem as the robotic villain tears people limb from limb. 

You'd better prepare yourself for some grizzly visuals, as this movie is full of delightful practical effects that blend mechanical creations with blood-splattering gore. What's not to love?
