Der tödliche Freund (1986)
Mit fünfzehn Jahren ist der geniale Paul fast ein Gehirnspezialist. Als seine Freundin von ihrem Vater totgeprügelt wird, setzt er ihr die Gehirnplatte eines von ihm entwickelten Roboters ein. Mit dem Ergebnis, daß sie sich zwar fernbedienen läßt, aber nächtens als mordgieriges Ungetüm umgeht. Nach dem sie ihren Vater, eine Nachbarin und Pauls Freund ermordet hat, setzt die Polizei dem Spuk ein Ende.
