The head of a cyborg reactivates, rebuilds itself and goes on a violent rampage in a visual artist’s apartment. With its post-apocalyptic setting, robot gone mad, extreme gore and a cast that includes Iggy Pop, Lemmy from Motörhead or Carl McCoy from Fields of the Nephilim, it is easy to consider Richard Stanley's Hardware to be essentially a lower budget, more intentionally punk take on The Terminator. Hailed as the most original, brain blasting film of the decade by the NME, the film remains one the most criminally underrated slices of true cyberpunk horror, that's as good now as it was then.
