this is my first propper attempt at finding a film i rented on vid around 10-15 years ago, so the film could be 70-80s id guess.
it was set in a school with either aliens or computers/robots killing kids. i remember one death (with a computer with wires frying a student then their head falling off into the screen, a screen that turned into blood.) and also how it ends. there is a basketball game with kids vs robots (i think) a game for survival or something. and robots being robots shoot and play perfectly, so to win someone finds the computer thats programming them and basically turns the programme disk around so the robots in the game shoot the other way.
i dont remember actors the title or anythign more helpful but would realy like to try and see this film again (tips on where to find it might be good also) becuase im pretty sure its not a well known film and was the first horror film i saw. thanks very much

thanks for the suggestion, i had a look through imdb and youtube and i dont think thats the film, i could be wrong but it didnt look sci fi horror or something, sorry i cant explain but ive got the image of the films feel (especially with the computer kill) that the violence is more over the top and deadly like not to story based. thanks for anymore help.

OK...I believe this is it. Monster High 1989. It ends with a basketball game...if the kids win, the earth is saved....also a computer geek is klled. There are no robots. Here the synopsis:

that could be it. but its been a while and i have very little specifics about the movie, im not even sure on the robots i just guessed they where becuase of physically turning the disk around to make the "robots" play backwards.
i checked that link, thanks for that, and looked for clips etc so now ill check the local store and see if its got a copy. im hoping thats the right film and find the vid to confirm or deny. thanks for the help
