Last Updated on July 30, 2021

The latest episode of our The Best Horror Movie You Never Saw video series is embedded above, and in this one we're taking a look back at director Richard Stanley's 1990 sci-fi horror cult classic Hardware (pick up a copy at THIS LINK)!

Starring Dylan McDermott and Stacey Travis, with a cameo by Lemmy and a vocal performance by Iggy Pop, Hardware has the following synopsis: 

In the barren, radioactive wastelands of the future lies the discarded remains of a Mark 13 cyborg, an advanced military killing machine. When purchased as scrap by Space Trooper Mo as a gift for his sculptress girlfriend, the dismembered remains begin to reconstruct themselves. The fully restored exterminator embarks on a relentless killing spree, with Mo's girlfriend as its prime target.
