Deadly Friend

A boy who creates robots losses his girlfriend in an accident and brings her to life useing robot parts. Soon she starts killing those who wronged her when she was alive with her new strength and super-human basketball skills. This little nuggets was directed by Wes Craven, and I guess you can say it's not one of his more famous films. It had a modern Bride of Frankenstein storyline to it. The scene with the exploding head was worth renting alone, but other than that nothing too special. 2.5 out of 5.
