Paul Verhoeven's American breakthrough film, Robocop, is an exceedingly violent blend of black comedy, science fiction, and crime thriller. Set in Detroit sometime in the near future, the film is about a policeman (Peter Weller) killed in the line of duty whom the department decides to resurrect as a half-human, half-robot supercop. The RoboCop is indestructible, and within a matter of weeks he has removed crime from the streets of Detroit. However, his human side is tortured by his past, and he wants revenge on the thugs who killed him. The film was later followed by two feature-length sequels and a live-action television series, neither of which were as successful as the original film. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

A canine trained to kill provides the gruesome action in this horror film. Hester Yvonne DeCarlo buys a rottweiler by the name of Greta and then gives it to her niece Audrey (Stephanie Dunnam) with completely malicious intent. Hester has always hated her sister (Audrey's mother) for marrying the man that Hester loved. Now that both of them are dead, Hester wants revenge on Audrey and her family and friends. She controls Greta's killer activities through a series of hocus-pocus incantations. A dim-witted police inspector is not much of a threat to Hester or her murderous canine who are getting away with murder, at least for awhile. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
