Ghost in the Machine

Man, I'm watching this on HBO right now. I'd forgotten how shitty this movie was. I bought it without the case, thinking it was Ghost in the Shell.

It's seriously, got to be on my top five worst.

Has anyone seen this crapper?

Stars out promising, but yeah - quickly turns to complete shit near the end. There have been threads about it.

I think I remember seeing it when I was younger; however I don't think I can tell you what happened in it or what it's about.

It's about some convicted killer dude who gets electrocuted or something and ends up inside appliances and stuff so he can continue to kill people. Like a dishwasher dumps water on the floor so this hot babysitter can step in it and get electrocuted and a motorized pool cover tries to drown a kid. Sometimes I catch it on cable and think - "wow, this is interesting" (having forgotten what it is) and then I'm sucked in only to be let-down by the piece of shit ending.

Worst movie ever made. I still can't believe I got talked into seeing this at the theater on New Year's Eve 1993.

Yup, major crapfest. I recall watching this on TMC horror night in the mid-90s sometime. The night got better though since it was followed by Brainscan.

One thing I was hoping was that this hot ass baby-sitter would show some tits. That may have given the movie some base value.

But, no. See, a lot of times, when a horror movie realizes, "Hmm...our movie is a bit crap," they throw some tits in it to make it interesting.

This shitter didn't even do THAT. Oh, and the ending, yeah. '77-era computer graphics, there. I liked it when the bad guy electrically overloaded the computer panel, it explodes, and then the cop picks up this motherboard-looking thing and says, "We can fix this..."

Funny, though, how so many movies seemed to spin off of this theme: Fear Dot Com, Terminator 3 (The accelerator trap), okay, I'm stretching.

Oh, if only people could run through the electric and phone lines. Sigh.
