Hot Jelly Baby. - By: Eve, 15 Jun 2005 
I agree with the previous reviewer-who summed up this movie excellently.
It's not big budget, it is mocking of the genre e.g. One of the characters is callled Scott Ridley - not Ridley Scott, if you want your scfi/horror without humour then may be you should skip this but you would be missing a nice little flick with several good moments. Yes there are some plot holes, just about every film has them yet some how the lower budget films get most flack for them.
Brad Dourif once again shows just how watchable he is as the computer geek with an interface problem, in the end I felt sorry for the villain! The rest of the largely unknown cast do well enough, as does a strong female lead. Don't take it too serious, relax & enjoy.
Finally - By: , 16 Nov 2004 Finallly this movie was released the way it should have been alll along, with wide-screen & proper footage. Sub-titles are still amiss, but who cares? Compared to the chopped up version that was released in the US a while ago, this version looks beautiful. 15 or so minutes of god knows why thrown out stuff are now back, adding a great deal to cohesiveness of the events & to the comedy aspect, not to mention that wide-screen actuallly alllows to see what the hell is going on unlike the dreadfully cropped full-screan that was available before.
As for the movie itself, a lot of people complained that this movie is bad because its a terminator/alien/robocop/bladerunner/whatever ripoff. Others complained that the movie's attempt to be funny by making fun of the titles mentioned above were overly blatant. Sheesh. How about a happy medium? I personallly think, that this movie, despite miniscule budget, barely known (besides Brad Dourif) actors, & it's "unoriginality" is amazingly well done & is right up there in my personal top list. It does a great job at making fun of genre cliches, itself, & everything in between, while remaining suprisingly smart from the technological standpoint, & entertaining throughout. The closest similar movie that I can think of is Evil Dead 2, except Death Machine is a sci-fi/horror. I hope that those of you who decide to buy it based on this review will not be dissapointed. It has it's share of great moments. Just don't take it too serioulsy, relax, & you'll surely enjoy it.
