Overview

Mark 13 is a government-built killing machine programmed with artificial intelligence, able to repair and recharge itself from any energy source. Through a series of coincidences, the cyborg's head ends up in the home of a sculptress as a bizarre Christmas present from her boyfriend. Once inside its new home, the cyborg promptly reconstructs the rest of its body using a variety of household utensils and proceeds to go on a murderous rampage.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A claustrophobic urban nightmare where a militarized killing machine reassembles itself in a cramped apartment, turning everyday domestic spaces into a field of lethal sculpture. It's a relentless exercise in industrial-grade dread dressed up in cyberpunk transgression.
