^^ Kinda like in Jaws how they kept the shark hidden away for most of the film?

It must be about time for a new killer robot film to be made.... I'd go check it out if they didn't make it to cheesey and stupid (which would probably be the case).

Yeah, like Jaws. Basically, they should just have a psychological build up before unveiling the goods at the end. Unfortunately, it seems Hollywood is so in love with FX that they forgot the old magic of the psychological terror and suggestive photography.

Seeing someone look terrified but not seeing the actual thing they're afraid of is a good way to start, for example. Also, if you've ever seen the original "The Haunting" from 1963, it had some cinematography that is suggestive of something, along with sound effects. It's the simple task of letting people's imagination run loose with a idea they are going to be afraid of whatever it is.

Granted, some people may be dissapointed when they see the actual monster (mechanical or not). However, in the case of rabid robots running loose in a mall, it would probably be good to show them eventually.

It had a good head exploding scene which made up for that a bit.

Granted it wasn't the best movie, and I often fall asleep watching it. However, that's b-movie stuff.

By the way, not all horror movies have gore. If that's all you're looking for keep watching the slasher flicks that consist of some idiot with some blood covered blade chasing stupid teenagers.

I always thought it was funny how no matter how fast the kids run, the invincible killer only has to walk and catch up to them, sometimes the killer appears way ahead of them. Horror or not, I can't seem to get into those flicks. Also, gore flicks make me laugh mostly.

There's a thread about this movie already: http://www.horror.com/forum/showthre...&threadid=3605
