Paul moves to a new town with his mother and his robot "BB" to study brain research at the local college. He becomes close with a paper boy, Tom and his next door neighbor, Samantha. They have a lot of good times together until BB's shot to pieces and Samantha's abusive father throws her down some stairs and kills her. He tries to save her by implanting robotic microchips in her brain but she swiftly begins a killing spree in their neighborhood. This is a film that never becomes anything memorable but it has unique charm thanks to the robot's personality and it's fun enough to please B-movie fans with likeable characters and spectacular practical effects. The plot is as weird as it sounds and it gets even weirder as the film goes on. It's kinda odd how the first half gives you this heavy wholesome family PG vibe and then it introduces some nasty gore and just shifts to something darker. That being said, I do appreciate the attempt in mixing lighthearted coming-of-age drama with gory horror even though it feels disjointed. And I think for the most part it works quite well and reminds me of _Dolls (1987)_. Overall it’s a decently fun film that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
