A Great Sci-Fi/Horror Thriller!, Aug 30 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Ghost in the Machine (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.

Some good horror scenes, but horrible execution and effects, Aug 24 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Ghost in the Machine (VHS Tape)
Ghost in the Machine (1993) Karen Allen, Chris Mulkey, Ted Marcoux, Wil Horneff, Jessica Walter, Brandon Quintin Adams, D: Rachel Talalay. The soul of a dead serial killer is captured inside a computer network from a surge of lighting; he begins to ply a killing spree through the electrical grid and appliances on a Cleveland single mother's friends, using pages from her lost address book. Computer graphics and some unrelenting gore (for those who like that stuff) can't compensate for a ludicrous and predictable story, but even those "redeeming marks" aren't anything to brag about. Running Time: 93 minutes and rated R for violence and gore.

A good idea, Oct 31 2001
This review is from: Ghost in the Machine (VHS Tape)
gone bad. This film was not completely terrible but it is no horror classic, I don't even think it's much of a horror movie -- It isn't scary, or gory, or suspenseful. It had potentional but it just kind of fell flat on it's face. Karen Allen, (Raiders of the lost arc, Scrooged, and Animal House), plays the single mother who's computerized address book is being used by the "soul" of the serial killer. he kills off her friends that are in the book. I can see why this is a "straight to video" movie. The acting wasn't any worse than most horror movies, but the execution of the film is just poor. If you are a real horror film buff, watch Nightmare on elm street as opposed to this. The killer is actually scary! ...
