Nightmare Weekend (1986)

In the heart of innovation, a distinguished professor devises a revolutionary computer machine with the noble intent of advancing society through behavioral modifications. Yet, this cutting-edge invention occasionally morphs ordinary objects into bizarre metallic spheres with a predatory instinct, as an unsuspecting burglar horrifyingly discovers. The professor's introverted daughter, oblivious or indifferent to the machine's real-world implications, innocently manipulates it like an interactive video game, oblivious of its impacts on surrounding machinery. The plot thickens as her puppet companion, a seemingly sentient entity, assists her in navigating life's complex decisions. Sinisterly entwined with a shadowy figure, the professor's unhinged assistant commandeers the machine, twisting it into a mind-bending tool to manufacture lethal human weapons. She sets her malicious sights on three naïve college girls, luring them into a weekend of torment and sinister experimentation at the professor's secluded estate. Along for the ride are two local barflies, their lascivious intentions set on the unsuspecting young women. Throughout the increasingly chaotic weekend, an undercurrent of risqué escapades unfolds, even as the girls become unwilling subjects of the machine's uncanny effects. Simultaneously, the reclusive daughter grapples with the prospect of her sexual awakening, guided by her puppet's wisdom. "Nightmare Weekend" is a journey into the unpredictable labyrinth of technological triumph and human frailty, where the boundaries of ethics, reality and desire blur.
