I wanted to complete the "robot trilogy" of Robot Wars (Albert Band), and this (Charles Band).
It's the worst and least roboty of the three, but it still has some charm, and the lovely hazy look of the era. I'm glad at least the younger girl (from Joe's Apartment!) is the boss hero in this. They are definitely trying to make her look like Sarah Connor.

I kind of loved this. I think it will probably struggle a little bit to find an audience because it's really trying to merge 70s Italian horror cinema with modern Blumhouse sensibilities. I suspect fans of the former will lose it a little on the latter and fans of the latter will lose it a little on the former. I'm on the 70s Italian cinema side, but I was willing to accept it on its own and jump scares.…

Q&A w/Peter Atkins (writer) and Tony Randel (director)
The first one is an amazing, stone-cold classic, but this one is just so out there and bizarre. I love that they don't do anything you'd expect the sequel to be. It always also reminds me of Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. The Cenobite realm and hell are kind of similar, which I find fun.
I love that this blends gore, stop-motion, and all kinds of madness. The inventiveness is never reached again in the franchise, but we'll always have this one.
