Got the plots and scenes, u tell me the name

Postby sandlegion on Mon Jan 24, 2005 9:36 pm

Howdy, :beerchug:

well, I wanted to know if you remember this movie, i'll just throw a few highlights and you gimme the name:

timeline: it's from the 80's

plot: A husband leaves for a bizz trip and leaves his wife in their hightech house, the cpu that guards the house comes alive and starts to build himself a body. [suspension builds] tries to kill the wife... etc etc

scenes I remember: the part that the robot caught the wife and tied her down and slowly starts to cut her skirt from the end to top with a round saw while the husband tries to break into the house and rescue...

How the computer built itself from scrap around the house.


Downside: only the familiar one, the ol' dissapointment-of-watching-the-movie-i-loved-a-decade-later-to-find-out-it's-not-all-that.


Well, do you remeber the name of the movie?

dunno, u guys maybe right, but I can tell u I saw it when I was like 7 (1984) and it scared me so bad I remember the scenes graphically and so vividly, since those scenes were the ones that scared me so much :-o

in any case, if it has those scenes and it's the movie you said, thanks, but still, It would be best if someone would actually rent it out and Rip it (I tried to find it here in Israel, but the video store doesn't have it...)


thanks.

u know this could make a good quiz, someone starts off by giving away a few small clues as to what happens and the longer it goes without being guessed the easier the clues get, could really test how much ppl remember of events in films they watch

I think thats the film called ARENA. But it also sounds like an episode of Babylon 5.

Yea it does sound like an Outer Limits episode and it sounds more like one when you here the cast.

Daniel Baldwin, Malcolm McDowell, Levar Burton and Stacey Haiduk

And the ending really makes it look like the Outer Limits
