I thought one of the opening scenes where you see the back side of a couch with a whole family watching tv, and then it pans around and you see them horribly mutilated was rather shocking, and in a weird type of sense, well done. He really had me convinced that this was another one of those people in the news that could do such horrible things, and act like the quiet guy next door. #Old screensavers lawnmower man serial#I don't know if anyone else thought this, but I thought the guy playing the serial killer did a very convincing and rather frightening job. The beginning is actually really good, believe it or not. What I got was only slightly better than average entertainment. ![]() I vaguely remember this one being out in theaters (I think I was 13 at the time), and since I couldn't remember if it was well received or not, I coughed up the 99 cents and brought it home anyway. I was in the video store, looking for some mindless entertainment, and came across this one. This one flies like an airplane that is suddenly without a pilot soaring at first, then, gradually, spinning out of control, and plummeting to its own doom. Holds the attention but demands complete suspension of logic. Summing up: Not bad as these sort of things go. That bit of natural horror was scarier than some of the computer graphic nonsense. I thought one of the best scenes had the automatic awning on the swimming pool covering almost the entire pool in ominous fashion, until the boy decides to swim underneath it to adjust the controls. Not really as bad as it sounds but all the graphics become a bit tiresome after awhile. CHRIS MULKEY is good as a computer wizard who helps her combat and ultimately destroy the virus which takes human form in the shape of graphic bits. But logic is the ingredient missing from the entire concept of this horror story that has fun devising various gruesome deaths for at least four or five people. ![]() Several others meet their imaginative deaths because of his stalking them through his computer wizardry (in most improbable and highly unlikely ways). ![]() But she's not the only victim he seeks from her address book. He has designs on her the moment he sees her with her young son (WIL HORNEFF). KAREN ALLEN is his main victim, since he was an employee in a store where she was looking for a computerized address book. Computer tekkies will love all the computer graphics involved here in showing how a serial killer, during an MRI power surge, gets his killer soul inserted into a network of computers so that he becomes the hacker from hell. However, THE NET was nothing compared to the overripe imagination of the screenwriter for THE GHOST IN THE MACHINE. I thought THE NET with Sandra Bullock was pretty over-the-top in the way her identity was so completely stolen, but it made a smashingly interesting thrill flick. ![]()
