A rape victim returns from the dead to seek vengeance on her rapists.
Matthias_812 reviewedApril 3, 2025
An audacious entry in the realm of late 80's and early 90's science fiction horror. This lesser-known insanity weaves a narrative of revenge, technology, and the boundaries between humanity and machine.
Exploring themes of technology's intrusion into human lives and the moral implications of blending man and machine. Obviously a play on Terminator and even RoboCop. Lisa's transformation into a cyborg raises questions about the ethics of vigilante justice and the human desire for retribution. The body drill kill is second only to Tetsuo: The Iron Man. The cyborg's relentless pursuit of her tormentors is a ride. Balancing the gritty realism of a crime drama with the stylized aesthetics of science fiction.
Steel and Lace was buried in the slew of 90’s horror and it deserves a resurgence.
