THE LAST SCREAM YOU HEAR WILL BE YOUR OWN.
SIRIUS 6B, the year 2078. On a distant mining planet ravaged by a decade of war, scientists have created the perfect weapon: a blade-wielding, self-replicating race of killing devices known as Screamers designed for one purpose only – to hunt down and destroy all enemy life forms.
I love this movie. The action is fun but it also has a deeper subtext about consciousness and whether machines can think, etc. It is based on the short story Second Variety by Philip K. Dick.
Being a Philip Dick story gives it a little more credibility, especially if they followed his ideas pretty closely.
I have a love/hate with bad B movies. Sometimes it’s like watching a train wreck in slow-mo, wondering if it’ll come through and actually be a better story than expected. Like “They Live”.
Edit: Looks like PK is one of the screenwriters?
