Dovevi essere morta (1986)
Il quindicenne Paul Conway è un genio precoce dell'informatica, ma come perseguitato da un destino crudele, sembra andare incontro ad una delusione dopo l'altra. Da poco trasferitosi in città con la madre, ha come unico amico "BB", il robot servizievole e protettivo che egli ha costruito, ma un giorno una signora isterica lo fa a pezzi rovinandone parte dei delicatissimi congegni. Quando poi si innamora di Samantha, sua vicina di casa, scopre che la relazione è contrastata dal patrigno di lei, uomo violento e irascibile. Nel corso di un'ennesima lite, l'uomo provoca accidentalmente la morte della ragazza, e Paul, disperato, tenta un esperimento pazzesco: trafugato il cadavere dall'ospedale, impianta nel cervello i microcips di "BB" convinto di restituirle la vita. Il corpo, in effetti, si rianima, ma la nuova Samantha si rivela ben presto un mostro implacabile assetato unicamente di vendetta.
