Pinning down Richard Stanley can be quite a job, whether you're talking about trying to find where he is or trying to make sense of the bewildering variety of reputations he has. He's been called a genius, a hack, an artist, a troublemaker, an Enfant Terrible and plain mad in both meanings of the word. This is all the more remarkable when you look at his body of work as a feature director:...

Recommended Hardware: 2-Disc Special Edition: Director Richard Stanley concocts a world on the edge of social, financial and environmental collapse. Perhaps Stanley riding right up to post-apocalypse without going past is down to Mad Max and sequels casting too large a shadow on genuine post-apocalyptic Australian cinema. Nevertheless, Stanley's chemically corrupted society-on-the-brink...

Richard Stanley's 1990 sci fi/horror flick Hardware , has been considered a cult classic by many. Until recently, it'd only been available on VHS or an exceptionally cruddy DVD release; well, Severin has changed all that, giving Hardware to the masses on Blu-Ray as well as a deluxe 2-disc DVD for those of us still living the lo-res life.

... releases. Though I hadn't seen it since it was first released on home video in the early 1990s, Richard Stanley's science fiction-horror film has been celebrated over the last two-plus decades as a modest masterpiece and a true cult classic, thanks in no small part to its small budget, even smaller distribution and minuscule but fervent fan base.

Though it may have been a long time in coming, the wait is well worth it. Severin has pulled together a generous amount of supplemental material and has remastered the picture itself to perfection. HARDWARE is a cacophonous and kaleidoscopic...

Okay, maybe McCoy’s cameo isn’t all that “important” an event in the rich tapestry of cinematic history. But it does hint at the fact that this debut movie from South Africa-born writer-director Richard Stanley is not your run-of-the-mill futuristic actioner. Stanley made the film shortly after a spell in Afghanistan, which was then at war with Russia, and where, according to his...

Continuing a casual survey of the horror genre begun last week with some recent old school releases on DVD, this week’s New York Times column moves into the post-Romero world of non-supernatural, body-centered horror as represented by Lucio Fulci’s “New York Ripper” (1982), Joseph Ruben’s “The Stepfather” (1987), Fred Dekker’s “Night of the Creeps” (1986), and Richard Stanley’s “Hardware”...
