Summary: A masterpiece in every facet of film making.
Review: A genuine classic of the sci-fi genre, Death Machine kidnaps the audience into a dark world of unfulfilled desires, humanitarian terrorists, and psycho death bots. Brad Dourif delivers yet another oscar caliber perfomance as Jack Dante, a man whose heart is torn between explicit love for his upper management and his primordial urge to terminate all forms of life. A triumvirate of warriors guided by a needlessly painted man must put an end to Dante's wave of destruction--THAT IS THE DEATH MACHINE!!!! And boy, does Mayhem ensue. Stylized with crisp cinematography, a pulse pounding soundtrack, spine-chilling dialogue, and ingenious plotting, Death Machine made its way onto no Top Ten lists of 1995---EXCEPT MINE!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: " ...Turn thAT 1980 **** DoWn...."
Review: A MUST SEE!!!!!! All in all, I was a great movie with forgivable flaws. The best aspect of the movie for me was the humor. The characters were great and the weapons designs were awsome.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I took a chance on this one based on the stirling reviews...
Review: And it really did pay off. I thoroughly enjoyed this sci-fi/techno-thriller/horror romp...YES! A ROMP!

Norrington wrote a great script and the action sequences are tight. He also gets great performances from his actors. Dourif, of course, is fantastic as the mad scientist with a love-lorn crush on his boss that leans to the murderous side...

What seperates DEATH MACHINE from the majority of B-movie straight-to-video fare goes way beyond great special effects and lots of action and gore. The characters are actually ENGAGING. Usually, with low-budget horror, I'm HOPING most of the characters are done away with, but not with DEATH MACHINE. I liked these characters. I didn't want them to die. Of course, this heightens the overall tension of the film and makes it a great viewing experience.

Dourif might be a scene-stealer, but this is Norrington's film all of the way. He wrote a fantastic script. His direction was on the mark. And he got the most out of his cast.

DEATH MACHINE is definitely worth the 9.99. Without a doubt.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Terminator like film
Review: B-category Terminator like film. All activity goes inside one building. Strong film, worth its price.
minus * because of Dolby Prologic, minus second * because of non-superior suspense.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Is this some kind of joke?
Review: Don't get me wrong: This movie is fantastic!
Great script - wonderful acting (especially by Brad Dourif), awesome action, but 99 mins?
What happenend to the other 12 mins? I have seen the short version - some important key scenes are missing in it.
So when do they bring out the movie on DVD in the complete version? I hope soon - because my tape is nearly worn out ....

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your ten bucks!!
Review: It's a B sci-fi horror movie. It's not half as good as ANY outer limits episode. Poor acting, laughable plot. I appreciate many odd and low budget movies, this isn't one of them. The Sci-Fi Channel wouldn't even play this one at 3 in the morning on a weekday. However I know there is somewhat of a cult following for really bad B Sci-Fi and Horror movies from the 80,s and if thats you, then this movie may be perfect. Enjoy :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best direct to video movie ever
Review: The role of Jack Dante was no doubt written specifically for Brad Dourif. He plays the charcter with a flair hi fans have come to expect. This movie features extremely cool fx and a monster unlike youve ever seen. The only problem with this movie is the title which would have kept me from renting it if i had not been extemely bored. Dont be fooled this is an awesome movie!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HOLY DONUTS!!!
Review: The sheer badness of Death Machine alone makes it worth purchasing and viewing multiple times... the aforementioned quote being one of the biggest reasons. It's like watching Plan 9 from Outer Space, except it spawns more inside jokes and is significantly more entertaining.

A horrible movie... absolutely horrible, in a spectacularly hilarious sort of way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Death Machine
Review: This film rocks. its the greatest low-budget sci-fi of the century. With everything from the character names being mimics of some of science fiction and horrors most influencial directors such as "Scot Ridly" and "Raimi" to the sheer terror of one of the greatest looking monster beasts around. A must see for people who know what good science fiction is, and recognise true talent when they see it. Next see Blade and blow your mind.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The definitely Sci-Fi B-movie!
Review: This is surely one of the best Sci-Fi B-movie I've ever seen! Brad Dourif's performance is a great attraction, as the action running-from-the-Warbeast sequences. Norrington proved it's possible to do a great movie, with nice visual effects, and waste few money on it. Sci-Fi and Action movies fans, this is ubelievable!!!
