Some DVD Hardware

No idea how I missed this the first time round, but shlock horror classic 'Hardware' is now whistling its way onto DVD this month. Following a review in Total Film, I've been digging around for more info on this chunk of 80s scifi-horror-action genius which (apparently) draws favourable comparision with 'A Clockwork Orange', 'Aliens' and 'The Terminator'.

Here's how Wikipedia describes the premiss:
The 21st century world is a radioactive wasteland as a result of a nuclear war. A travelling scavenger comes across the remains of a cyborg named Mark 13 in the desert, and salvages pieces of it. The cyborg head ends up with a metal sculptress, who is unaware of the cyborg's infamy as a governmental killing machine project that was scrapped due to its defects. Mark 13 reconstructs itself utilizing household appliances and metal parts, and goes amok.

Need more convincing of its simultaneous brilliant and dodgy appeal? Check out the trailer below:



Can't wait to get my hands on the dvd version of this!
