HARDWARE

HARDWARE is the unhinged, full tilt technodystopian curtain drop on the Atomic Age, less a film than the uniquely Hellish punk fever dream borne of BLADE RUNNER, JUDGE DREDD, MAD MAX, and THE TERMINATOR colliding at right angles to reality.

A scavenger (played by Fields of the Nephilim’s Carl McCoy) finds a dismembered robot in the radioactive desert and hauls it into town to sell. Its skull ends up in an artist’s apartment, incorporated into a sculpture—until the government’s experimental extermination unit starts putting itself back together.

It’s a love letter to Generation X’s cultural holocaust of the Baby Boomers’ legacy as if penned by Roger Zelazny himself. With appearances by Iggy Pop, Lemmy, GWAR, and Ministry, and creature design by Chris Cunningham (of Aphex Twin and Bjork video fame), HARDWARE is the only killer robot film you need ever watch again.
