Robowar

1h 32m Horror, Science Fiction 1988

A brain-melting mash-up of PREDATOR, ROBOCOP, and Philippines war movie mayhem.

A year before their jaw-dropper SHOCKING DARK, director Bruno Mattei (VIOLENCE IN A WOMEN’S PRISON) and co-writers Claudio Fragasso and Rossella Drudi (TROLL II; ZOMBIE 4) first collaborated on this brain-melting mash-up of PREDATOR, ROBOCOP and Philippines war movie mayhem.

When a team of badass commandos is hired for a jungle rescue mission, they’ll instead find them hunted by a kill-crazed creature that is part man, part machine and all glorious ‘80s ItaloSleaze. Reb Brown (UNCOMMON VALOR), Catherine Hickland (ONE LIFE TO LIVE), Massimo Vanni (RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR) and Jim Gaines (ISLAND OF THE LIVING DEAD) star in this “freaking awesome must-watch for any action fan” (BMovieCitadel.com), now scanned in 4k from the original negative.

“It’s the kind of exploitation movie conjunction that results in something truly special, albeit one on a brain-damaged wavelength.” — Nathaniel Thompson, Mondo Digital
