À propos de ce film

Computer-store employee Karl Hochman (Ted Marcoux) is secretly "The Address Book Killer" - he steals people's address books and kills everybody listed within, as well as the book's owner. When Terry Munroe (Karen Allen) accidentally leaves her address book behind at the store, Karl is in pursuit - but he instead ends up in a car accident. While being CAT scanned the hospital is struck by lightning and Karl's mind is converted to electrical impulses turning him into a near-omniscient computer virus that can also travel via electrical lines. He begins murdering Terry's friends via household items such as microwave ovens and hair dryers. Fortunately, Terry's son Josh figures out what's going on, and the pair enlist genius hacker Bram Walker to fight the "Karl virus."

Notes et avis

this movie is incredible, loved nearly every minute of it. i think the ending is a little....like....obtuse, but up to that point it's such a good little early 90s techno thriller (as the cover art suggests) AND it reminds me of that '99 movie Smart House. ALSO a lot of the best horror elements are practical effects and they make the scary bits that much more scary! would recommend this as something to watch with friends, or after taking an edible, tbh
