I had been looking for this for 20 years!
I can't describe the feeling of relief I just had recently when I saw this on DVD for $4.99 at Best Buy.
The story is... I love any and all cheesy 80s flicks from my childhood. And for the love of god, anytime I spoke of this "random, scary flick where a girl is half robot, half dead girl and she loves the protagonist and she kills the criminals' mother from The Goonies with a basketball," I was met with blank stares.
Then I see the cover of the DVD and wonder what the movie is, and sure enough, it is the lovely horror pic I have been looking for since 1990.
Anyone else have fond memories of being scared, watching this rerun on WPIX on weekend afternoons in the late 80s into the 90s?
