What movie robots do you think were terrifying?

The T-800 Terminator will always be scary especially when it comes out of the fire near the end of the first movie proving that even without it's skin, it will still keep on coming until it gets you.

Maximilian from Disney's The Black Hole is also intimidating with it's red eye visor and will not hesitate to kill if you are a threat or trying to escape.

Holy crap. That scene was terrifying. I couldn't watch that scene for many years when I was a kid.

A 'hide behind the sofa moment' if ever there was one from my childhood.

Yep. This robot wouldn't stop at nothing to complete the mission in the movie even if it means getting rid of the "human error".

That scene was deeply disturbing as a child. Just had to rewatch it on YT and it seems everyone agrees

How about the prototypes in Robocop 2?

They're a combination of hilarious and disturbing especially the second prototype that takes off it's helmet to reveal the skull underneath screaming.

There was also a great episode in the 1990’s reboot of The Outer Limits starring the always superb, William Sadler featuring a psychotic, jealous female android.

As a group Daleks or the Borg.

Singularly probably the Terminator ‘robots’.

There was an 80s film with Tom Selleck fighting robot spiders that injected people with acid. Nobody seems to recall this film called Runaway but it was pretty tense by the end.

Other notable mentions:

The woman at the end of Superman 3 which I am comforted so many others found terrifying as a kid

Replicators from Stargate SG1

Black Mirror episode called Metal head with the robot security dogs. (so very close to current tech.)
