Hardware
Richard Stanley, U.K., 1990; 92 min
A post-apocalyptic scavenger (Dylan McDermott) brings home a battered cyborg skull for his metal sculptor girlfriend, unaware that it contains the brain of the M.A.R.K. 13, the military's most ferocious bio-mechancial combat droid. Soon, the dismembered fragments reconstruct themselves from household appliances, turning their apartment into a combat zone as the reborn machinery goes on the rampage. From underrated visionary Richard Stanley (Dust Devil). Along with appearances by Iggy Pop and Lemmy of Motorhead. "An energetic, low-budget Pandora's Box of delights, tailor-made for the disposable '90s." Derek Adams, Time Out

Paul Schrader (Director of Affliction, Auto Focus, American Gigolo, Blue Collar)
Steve E. Jones (Against Technology: From the Luddites to Neo-Luddism)
Evan Calder Williams (Combined and Uneven Apocalypse)
