Death Machine (1994)

Dante is a psycho who works for Chaank Armaments and is responsible for their top secret experiments with killer robots that are part human. The experiments have not gone completely as planned since the robots tend to kill indiscriminately. Cale, an annoying big shot lady executive, discovers the secret project and demands that the board fire Dante. But Dante is given free reign at Chaank because everyone is afraid he will kill them.

In a side plot, some freedom fighters plan to break into Chaank to blow up their safe and their technology. Cale and the freedom fighters get trapped inside the building when Dante unleashes a killer robot to take care of them. This could probably be resolved by Cale going out with Dante, but damn it, she's got principles!

Brad Dourif stars as Dante and is creepy as ever. The characters have names like Sam Raimi and John Carpenter. Also the chases through the industrial office building corridors have a decidedly Alien feel to them.
