The concept of a human supplemented with bio-mechanical parts was introduced in the 1960's and was mostly a concept to explore in fiction, much like flying cars and manned space crafts. With the increases in computer capabilities and the introduction of AI and self-learning, the idea of cyborgs began to carry horrific implications. These fears were the basis of James Cameron's seminal sci-fi film The Terminator, from 1984. It was clear that horror would tap into these fears and further expand on these terrifying ideas. This week Jerry & Matt look at two diverse films that explore cyborgs in very different ways, with Wes Craven's Deadly Friend from 1986 and Leigh Whannell's Upgrade from 2018.
