Love the movie, but watch out for the description
Added 10/18/2009
I'm not going to give a big ol' review for it, it's just a fun lil movie. Now, the one problem I have with this is the sales description says this is the 120 minute version, that is incorrect. I ordered the DVD based on that and found when the DVD came in it's the regular 99 minute version, so I returned it. The longer version has some interesting additions to the story, if you're curious about it, check out the film listing on IMDB.

Perfect vintage mid-90's Sci-Fi!
Added 10/5/2009
Awesome movie that really brings me back to the mid-90's sci-fi era. And despite the lower budget and campy expectations, it was actually a really well made and enjoyable movie. Excellent acting from Brad Dourif, cool storyline, and sick effects. If you love sci-fi from this era, this is definitely a good buy.

Death Machine does not die on the screen
Added 12/20/2008
I read one of the other reviews. I don't agree that the film "rocks"; however, it was pretty good. The acting is poor to average; the plot is anything but unique; and the special effects are not good. But, this is 2008 and Death Machine is from the 90s, so, it's okay.
The humor is my kind, dark and weird. There is enough suspense to keep you interested and the down times are speckled with one liners and off the cuff remarks.
I love the psychotic inventor. Now, I would watch the movie again, just to listen to his parts. Where else can you find a despicably evil crazy person who switches from want to kill the star one second to wanting to "interface" with her the next? Excellent part done by a good actor.
If you can find it for under six or seven bucks (incl shipping), it's worth the watch.

Death Machine
Added 7/15/2008
The DVD that was sent to me was in really bad condition. I don't know if it was because of the sender or the carrier, but it had a crack in the disk. I dont know what we can do about this but i would like to try.

It Slices! It Dices!...

DEATH MACHINE is awesome! Sort of a hideous amalgamation of movies like ALIENS, THE TERMINATOR, ROBOCOP, CHOPPING MALL, etc. DM is far better than most sci-fi / horror films of it's type. Brad Dourif is completely gone as Jack Dante, mad scientist and all around sludgeball. He is allowed to run rampant, working for the CHAANK CORPORATION, supposedly building a cutting edge super-soldier. Well, being the total nut that he is, Dante creates a fear-sensing, mechanical nightmare that can not only crash through walls, but is faster than a hyper-active cheetah! The "Warbeast" is under Dante's control and begins tearing his corporate enemies into bacon almost immediately! It's up to Hayden Cale (Ely Pouget) and a small band of survivors to try and outwit this hulking, lightning-fast shredding machine before it mulches them! Yessiree, DM is an intense, hilariously frantic movie, packed w/ over-the-top excitement and some chills. Watch for the machine-gun blasts that go on for minutes at a time! I'm still vibrating! Buy immediately...
