Frequently associated with horror and genre cinema; directed Night of the Creeps (1986), The Monster Squad (1987) and Robocop 3 (1993). The provided review notes he was described there as a specialist in horror movies.

The available review (GrantNicholas) is highly critical of Fred Dekker's Robocop 3, citing weak direction and an ill-fitting lead. It notes studio pressure to tone down violence, praises a few supporting performances and the score, and views the film as a disappointment compared to the original.

For:Fans of genre cinema, Robocop fans, horror-movie enthusiasts, film critics

 However, the first snag appears almost immediately: Peter Weller, a highly sought-after actor at the time (due to the popularity he gained with the first two Robocop films), is unavailable, as he is busy shooting David Cronenberg's "Naked Lunch." He has to be replaced.
