I lasted fifteen minutes

You are in dire straits when you remake a Corman movie and make it worse than the original. The original HUMANOIDS was fascinating, but this one feels like a Sci-Fi Channel TV movie - those are pretty terrible.

I love Robert Carradine and it was nice to see that Justin Walker from CLUELESS is still around, but this was just boring!!! I couldn't even stay with it long enough to get to the Humanoids! Sure, I could have forced myself through it, but, at a certain point, you just have to ask if you want to spend 90 minutes of your life this way.

I've seen the BUCKET OF BLOOD remake, which seems to be from the same "Roger Corman" presents series and it was far more interesting - better cast, better cinematography. Actually, though, come to think of it, I turned that one off too. Stick to the originals.
