Spoiler-Free Synopsis

Read MoreCollapse

Certainly never lauded as one of the best of horrormeister Craven's offerings, there are still enough moments of shock and fright in this film to keep an audience scared. Whiz-kid Paul (Matthew Laborteaux) moves into a new neighborhood with his mother Jeannie (Anne Twomey) and brings along the robot he built with his own two hands, Bee Bee. Bee Bee is programmed to speak and helps defend the local kids against some bullies that have been a problem. This gets Paul new friends, including the girl next door, Samantha (Kristy Swanson), and then several things happen at once. First Bee Bee is seriously sent into oblivion by a peeved old lady who is not into robotics. Then Samantha's abusive, alcoholic father goes over the edge and she ends up in the hospital. She is brain-dead but her physical body is not damaged. Bee Bee is body-dead, but his brain is not damaged. The answer to Paul's desire to save Samantha seems to have an obvious solution, but the results are a killer.
