Steel and Lace
After her attackers go free, Gaily Morton, the victim of a vicious assault, commits suicide.

Why it matters
A gritty fusion of revenge thriller and cybernetic horror that channels early ’90s exploitation energy with a dash of Frankenstein’s monster brutality.
- Practical effects and animatronic limbs deliver satisfying mechanical menace in a pre-CGI era.
- A proto-“techno-horror” premise that taps into anxieties about body autonomy and technology run amok.
- For fans of B-movie grindhouse fare blending vigilante justice with sci-fi gore.
- Raw, unpolished performances add a grimy, street-level texture to this cult oddity.
