| | And You Call Yourself a Scientist! - The Terminator (1984) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | This premise, of course, forms the basis for The Terminator as a suspense film, but it is nevertheless rather disturbing, with mankinds survival seemingly less dependent upon his courage, his tenacity and his intelligence, than it is upon a trick of fate. |
 | | What makes the Terminator so frightening is the automatic nature of its violence the crushing of a hand, the slamming of a head, when a push to one side would do just as well. |
 | | One of the moments that always stays with me is the shot of the Terminator seeking its prey while driving through the city, its head moving slightly from side to side as if triangulating a signal, its face not quite right. |
