This gave context and narrative purpose for its relentlessness and invulnerability that could be explained beyond “possibly supernatural” (lookin’ at you, Leatherface and Jason Voorhees) and allowed the special effects team to subtly add new layers of terror to the proceedings by gradually peeling back the layers of the mechanical menace to provide glimpses at its now-iconic endoskeleton within.

Although it can hardly claim to have invented the slasher genre, it certainly added a new twist by swapping out the tried-and-true nigh-implacable killer that’s a mainstay of the genre for a malevolent android sent from the future on an extermination mission.

There’s not much to say about this movie that hasn’t already been said a million times over, but whether you love, hate or are ambivalent to it, it’s hard to ignore the achievements in filmmaking that The Terminator accomplishes on a (relatively) small budget. Without further ado, let’s dive into the The Terminator! Please note that the opinions offered in this piece are not representative of Rely on Horror as a whole, and are merely personal thoughts. With the release of Terminator Genisys, the fifth film in the franchise as well as the first one to be released in 6 years, looming on the horizon, I figured now’s a better time than ever to look back at this hallowed franchise and examine both its cinematic appeal and effectiveness as an inspiration for video games both vintage and current. Its at-the-time unique blend of cyberpunk tech noir and classic slasher horror has since gone on to influence innumerable other works in the genre which speaks to the quality and timeless appeal of the world that Cameron crafted from the lingering threads of a fever-induced nightmare. “I’ll be back.” With the utterance of those immortal words, Arnold Schwarzenegger helped catapult James Cameron’s 1984 sci-fi horror flick The Terminator into a legendary pantheon of classic films, and movies buffs to this day consider it to be one of the most significant films of the 20th century.
