| 1 | * FridgeHorror: [[spoiler: Even though Paul dies at the end, nothing indicates that BB!Sam is dead. So there's a murderous robot still on the loose and the only person who could stop it is dead.]] |
| 2 | * HilariousInHindsight: An [[CuteMachines adorable]] gibberish sprouting robot named BB? [[Film/TheForceAwakens It'll never catch on.]] |
| 3 | * NightmareRetardant: The basketball kill scene is played for horror value, but it's so [[{{Narm}} ridiculously filmed]] that it's impossible to find it horrifying in the slightest. |
| 4 | %%ZCE* SignatureScene: [[YourHeadAsplode The basketball kill.]] |
| 5 | * SpecialEffectsFailure: |
| 6 | ** The decapitated body in the infamous basketball death scene is clearly a puppet. You can even see what looks like the outline of the puppeteer underneath the nightgown. |
| 7 | ** The exploding head itself is also very obviously just a hollow dummy head. |
| 8 | ** In the ending [[spoiler: Sam's face looks pretty fake. And then her "skin" tears off to reveal a transparently plastic-looking "robotic" face underneath.]] |
| 9 | * SpiritualAdaptation: For its premise and plot elements such as the "cute robot built by a boy genius" aspect, it comes across as the Creator/WesCraven movie that Creator/StevenSpielberg and/or Creator/RobertZemeckis never produced (it especially leans towards the Zemeckis side, due to his experience in also working with SplatterHorror and {{Gorn}} productions such as ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt''). The original cut of the film was more Spielberg-esque to a point Craven was trying to act as the PoorMansSubstitute for the aforementioned filmmaker, but ExecutiveMeddling pigeonholed him back to his horror expertise much to his dismay. |
| 10 | * TearJerker: When Sam dies, to some extent, it is actually sad. |
| 11 | * WatchItForTheMeme: Raise your hand if you're here for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSW2pPlZF-M this.]] |
