I don’t expect anyone to answer this–because I can provide so little in the way of memories and familiarity.
When I was -REALLY- little, I remember seeing a sci-fi deal on TV–I can’t even remember if it was a movie, or an episode from a TV show. I think it was a movie, because I recall seeing cinema-style rolling credits at the end.
The only thing I can -remember- from this feature was a little about the protagonist. He was referred to simply as ‘Carl’, and was some type of machine. A cyborg, most likely. He had this interesting quirk.
When he would get too close to people–he would kill them. Unwillingly. Proximity was the trigger that set him off.
I’m 18 years old. So any ideas would have to be in the mid-80s or earlier. I wish I could provide more details, but I can’t. Every so often and again I recall the memory of watching this movie–and am absolutely distraught because I can remember no title.
Finding the title is worth obscene sexual favors from me. I mean it.
