screamer be a futuristic sci fi horror set on another planet and sirius 6b . the film start off very poorly with a narrative spoken in a robotic voice and indicating that screamer will be no more than z grade garbage . luckily and screamer prof to be a respectable and suspense fill film that superbly display the extreme of raw human emotion . screamer always have the advantage that it be write by philip k. dick and the author whose story lead to blade runner and total recall and minority report . whilst screamer be no way in the same league a these film and it be much more thought provoking and gripping than other sci fi film on a similar budget . the pace at which the plot move be extremely intense while it seize the attention of the audience and leave them wait for the next scene . the relationship between each character be all very compel while every character have their own little story which ensure screamer do not become one dimensional . peter weller be excellent in his role a hendrickson . i have only see him in robocop so it be good to know he be not simply good at play a robot . his character be complex a he miss earth and yet have submit to be stick on sirius 6b . his relationship with jessica ( jennifer rubin ) develop wonderfully throughout the film and be a good contrast to the horror take place . jennifer rubin also put on a great performance a her character start a a mystery and gradually open up in to someone the audience really care for . the screamer be a tremendous idea a underground defence robot who adapt to produce a new and human look batch of screamer . the sound they make be very chilling and really bring up the hair on the back of your neck while this be greatly reflect in the character reaction on hear the scream . sadly and poor stop motion effect mean it be a disappointment when it come to see the screamer attack but it be not hard to overlook special effect for a good story . it be a shame screamer wasn not give more budget a it have potential to be a truly great film . i do not care about special effect very much but i feel the film vision could have be realise more if there be more money in this area . also some of the set be poorly design a there appear to be a lack of effort in some place . the outlook be suppose to be bleak but the director do little to emphasise this . possibly the best thing about screamer be the end . with paranoia level reach those in the thing and the twist at the end be very surprising and tense . weller and rubin really shine in these scene and do well to affect the audience emotion . the script and which be good throughout and be also especially good in the final sequence . with more money behind it and good direction and screamer would be a sci fi classic and a it be and screamer be an underrated and well acted and great story .
