Product Description

Last night a serial killer died. His body was laid to rest but his soul has come on-line. Free to continue his reign of terror by using electrical circuitry, the serial killer's next target is the unsuspecting Terry Munroe (Karen Allen) and her teenage son, Josh (Wil Horneff). Their only chance for survival is with the help of a brilliant computer hacker, Bram Walker (Chris Mulkey).

In this suspenseful "techno-thriller," terror strikes when it's least expected and the only cure for this virus is to destroy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Sci-Fi/Horror Thriller!, August 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Ghost in the Machine [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was an entertaining sci-fi thriller about a serial killer's soul that inhabits the electrical world. He continues his psychopathic work by turning computers and household appliances into deadly weapons with a mind of their own. The microwave scene was disturbing. As well as the garbage disposal and dishwaher scenes. It reminded me of the 1988 shocker "Pulse" as it is somewhat related with possessed appliances. Lots of action and suspense. If you're into sci-fi and horror you should definatly see this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Actually, pretty decent., April 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ghost in the Machine [VHS] (VHS Tape)

First of all I just wanna say I'm a horror movie fanatic! I have been watching them since I was two and have probably seen a million of them. When I went to the video store to rent this I wasn't expecting much, but I was wrong! This movie is loaded with suspense! It starts off with Terry Munroe (Karen Allen) and her son Josh going to a computer store to buy a new software disk were you can scan your address book on to a computer to make it look neater. But Terry leaves her address book there and a serial address book killer works there! The killer gets in a car wreck and has to have a catscan when a storm knocks out the power and the killers soul goes online. He finds the address book on the stores files and starts killing her friends in order out of the address book in high tech. ways. With electric pool covers going over people, turning on the garbage disposal etc. It sounds lame I know, but you have to rent it to see what I mean. Trust me, from a horror expert this movie will give you sleepless nights! e-amil me your thoughts.

5.0 out of 5 stars An old favorite, September 14, 2009

While it may be a bit dated, technologically and graphically, the movie is still worth checking out. Back in the day, this was one of the movies to see. To date, I still like to catch it on one of the movie channels or another channel's movie marathons or showcases... The story begs for a remake, but the movie itself is still good, if you don't get hung up on out-dated graphics and whatnot.
