Hardware is a low-budget scifi horror movie that was the directorial debut of Richard Stanley – who is notable for being the initial director in the notorious Island of Dr. Moreau filmatization in the 90’s – and starring Dylan McDermott and Stacey Travis.
I wouldn’t call it a good movie, exactly, but it’s not terrible either and it definitely has its moments. Stanley’s style is pleasantly weird, and the aesthetics are sometimes really on point.
Here’s the rest of my screenshots (sorry about the stupid rounded corners on all of them, my video player insists on including those in screenshots):
weee, cyberpunk (post-apocolypse?) b-movie. I’m down. Thanks for the post.
You’re welcome! And yes, Hardware is exactly that.
Considering the budget was less than a million GBP they did a great job. It’s not an Orson Welles flick, but it’s fun and often visually interesting – it looks sort of like I’d expect the world of Brazil to look some years in the future and after a nuclear war.
Definitely been one of my favorites ever since I saw it as a teen, and it doesn’t seem to be too well known so I’m happy to spread the message
With a short cameo by none other than Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead fame!
And Iggy Pop and Carl McCoy too!
