Please Help Me.

I was hoping a few schmoes with horror knowledge could help me find the title of a horror movie.

I don't remember exactly when I saw it, but I know it was around the late 80's, maybe early 90's, and the only thing I can remember about the plot is that this boy's father either was or turned into a robot and tried to kill him.

The reason I ask is that I thought it would be fun to watch it with my dad again, cause he has always told me that I wouldn't go anywhere near him for awhile after watching that. :)

Anyway, thanks for the help.

It could very well be Xtro, but if it were, you'd remember more than just the basic plot (unless you only saw parts of it). Does a midget clown or a stomach-churning birth sequence ring any bells?

I do remember something about a clown, but it was so long ago, I might be mixing movies.

I'll check the plot on imdb. Thanks

im pretty sure it isnt Xtro (although i might be wrong, ive managed to erase most of this godawful film from my memory), i dont remember a kids dad turning into a robot or anything like that

The father is abducted by aliens and returns as an alien, but it would be easy to confuse him with a robot if your memory is blurry. I can't think of any other film that fits Free's criteria.
