Crash and Burn (1990 Video)
3/10
I couldn't figure out what Brand was trying to do with this movie

Crash and Burn (1990) is another Full Moon Feature I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows civilization as we know it after an economic collapse. An organization known a UNICORN has emerged to safe civilization by banning all technology. When a news station is attacked by a robot killing news casters on air, the survivors in the news room will try to avoid the robot and uncover what happened and why.

This movie is directed by Charles Band (Puppetmaster) and stars Paul Ganus (Lethal Weapon 3), Megan Ward (Encino Man), Ralph Waite (The Bodyguard), Bill Moseley (Night of the Living Dead) and Eva LaRue (Robocop 3).

The storyline for this had some potential but dragged. The film spent too much time focused on the characters and plot and took too long to get to the action and what was happening around them. The kill scenes were weak and the cinematography was disappointing. Some of the wounds were well done and there is a good stab in the face scene, but not good enough to recommend even for horror enthusiasts. Even the shower scene was mediocre.

Overall this felt like it was trying to knockoff The Terminator a little. I couldn't figure out what Brand was trying to do with this movie. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.
