Customer Reviews

A masterpiece in every facet of film making.
A genuine classic of the sci-fi genre, Death Machine kidnaps the audience into a dark world of unfulfilled desires, humanitarian terrorists, and psycho death bots. Brad Dourif delivers yet another oscar caliber perfomance as Jack Dante, a man whose heart is torn between explicit love for his upper management and his primordial urge to terminate all forms of life. A triumvirate of warriors guided by a needlessly painted man must put an end to Dante's wave of destruction--THAT IS THE DEATH MACHINE!!!! And boy, does Mayhem ensue. Stylized with crisp cinematography, a pulse pounding soundtrack, spine-chilling dialogue, and ingenious plotting, Death Machine made its way onto no Top Ten lists of 1995---EXCEPT MINE!!!!!

I took a chance on this one based on the stirling reviews...
And it really did pay off. I thoroughly enjoyed this sci-fi/techno-thriller/horror romp...YES! A ROMP!

Norrington wrote a great script and the action sequences are tight. He also gets great performances from his actors. Dourif, of course, is fantastic as the mad scientist with a love-lorn crush on his boss that leans to the murderous side...

What seperates DEATH MACHINE from the majority of B-movie straight-to-video fare goes way beyond great special effects and lots of action and gore. The characters are actually ENGAGING. Usually, with low-budget horror, I'm HOPING most of the characters are done away with, but not with DEATH MACHINE. I liked these characters. I didn't want them to die. Of course, this heightens the overall tension of the film and makes it a great viewing experience.

Dourif might be a scene-stealer, but this is Norrington's film all of the way. He wrote a fantastic script. His direction was on the mark. And he got the most out of his cast.

DEATH MACHINE is definitely worth the 9.99. Without a doubt.
