Summary It's rare for horror movies to use robotic villains as their antagonists, but there are a rare few that manage to make killer automatons seem downright terrifying. Compared to horror movies starring ghosts, traditional human slashers, demons or other monsters, killer robot films seem to be at a disadvantage.
9 Hardware Directed By Richard Stanley Close A cult classic for a reason, Hardware is a refreshingly simple and straightforward killer robot flick. Set in a post-apocalyptic United States, Hardware's world is filled with desperate survivors scavenging the wasteland of nuclear armageddon.
7 Saturn 3 Directed By Stanley Donen and John Barry Close The great thing about killer robot films is just how strange they're willing to get with their premises. Nothing proves that point quite like Saturn 3, a film that, despite its designation, isn't a sequel.
Screamers' robots are incredibly creative and horrifying to look at, walking land-sharks with vicious buzzsaws for teeth capable of rending flesh in an instant. But they're also quite insidious at times, able to disguise themselves as humans like the Cylons of Battlestar Galactica fame. From their insidious infiltration of the human population to their unfettered brutality in an open desert, the robots of Screamers are cybernetic villains well-worth remembering.
