Paul Conway and his mother Jeannie Conway travel to a new town where Paul will join the local university invited by Dr. Johanson. They bring the robot BB that was developed by Paul, who is a genius in robotics. Paul befriends the paperboy, Tom Toomey, and has a crush on his next door neighbor, Samantha Pringle, whose abusive alcoholic father Harry Pringle frequently hurts her. One day, Paul, Sam, Tom and BB are playing basketball and the ball falls in the field of their paranoid grumpy neighbor Elvira Parker who won't give it back to the teenagers. On Halloween, Tom convinces Paul to let BB open the padlock of the entrance to Elvira's house. However, there is an alarm system and Elvira blows up BB with her shotgun. Then Harry pushes his daughter down the stairs, and the doctors leave her brain-dead connected to life support. However, Paul convinces Tom to go to the hospital to rescue Sam, and then he implants BB's chip into her brain, resurrecting Samantha. But will she come back to life normal?
Leave your thoughts about Deadly Friend.
| The A.V. ClubNick SchagerRemains a mesmerizing time-capsule portrait of ’80s-era hopes and fears about computers. |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesDeadly Friend is stylish and sardonic enough to offer horror fans some knowing laughs and a pleasant relief from shrieking. |
| We Got This CoveredJacob DresslerThe movie also deserves a watch because of the incoherent style. It’s like getting to see two films for one. If you’re in the mood to see a lighthearted movie about childhood and becoming an adult, it’s got you covered. And if you want a gory slasher film with plenty of dark humor, it has you covered there as well. |
| Los Angeles TimesPatrick GoldsteinOn the whole, Deadly Friend is a routine horror movie, poorly photographed (by old-time cinematographer Philip Lathrop) and poorly performed (with the exception of New York stage actress Anne Twomey, as Paul's mother). |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Has become progressively cheesier as the years pass. |
| User ReviewLily PIt was not that I bad, I feel. Would be awesome if Wes were able to remake it in the vision he really had for the film. |
| User ReviewBrett Aone of the unforgettable movie i've seen! |
