One of the best "appliance deaths" ive seen - the dude getting cooked by microwaves. Not only is the idea pretty cool, but the sfx for the day were awesome. I also really liked "Pulse"(1988) from which, i assume, this was based on. For me the microwave death was as memorable as the "Fargo" wood-chipper scene.
@@BombasticLove87 My all-time favorite scene was the one where the ghost took over the dishwasher and electrocuted the babysitter.😍😍😍😍😍 Instead of being afraid of the G.E. logo in my childhood, I got over my fear and wished I looked as pretty and sexy as the babysitter in the movie. Not only that, I wished I could dress-up like her and wriggled like her in the movie scene I described!😍👯
This movie was awesome when it came out! Same time as the Lawnmower man, CG was a BIG thing back then, Terminator 2, and then we all saw Jurassic park in 93 and...it took off from there.
And, the only way to survive is a Faraday cage or go to an area where there's no WiFi and the weapon to defeat the wifi ghost is a wifi jammer that will make the killer unable to turn back into a radio wave.
@Raquel Washington If they do that, they need to play the movie between 9-11pm so they can do a scene where Samuel L. Jackson cusses out the ghost in the movie; LOL 😀😁😄😅😄😁😀!! I can hear it now: Samuel L. Jackson saying 'Time to go offline, mother😀😉😑😡😬😠!!'
I always thought this film had a neat concept, definitely could do with a remake considering how much more tech there is now, utilize 3d printers for weapons or printing himself a physical body when needed, while also travelling through machines, phones, wifi, video games like in this film
It's insane how ahead of its time this was. The only other movie in this era I can think of that used network-based computer technology as a core part of its theme is Hackers, and that wasn't until 1995. The Internet and the World Wide Web was only public and proliferating for a year or so, assuming this movie's writing and filming was finished in 1992. That means the viewers - with exception of network technicians for governments/corporations and those in the BBS scene - were being introduced to something they've never even considered before. That would have been by far the majority of the population.
The whole world was talking about the internet and virtual reality all through the early 90’s. This movie is of its time, not ahead of its time. Same with Lawnmower Man, Johnny Mnemonic, Hackers, Hardware, Mindwarp, The Net, Virtuosity, and Strange Days, among many others.
@@RobbieSkyeHamilton Most of those movies are strictly science-fiction, not based on real technologies or theoretically have technological foundation, and the couple that did came after 1993. Those other movies are more Star Wars, which is almost all fictional, rather than Star Trek, which is based on real technologies and physics, or theoretical technologies and physics. As for the "whole world talking about the Internet and all through the 90s", most people didn't know anything about the Internet or how to use it in 1993. The Internet boom wasn't until 1995. In 1993, almost everyone accessing networks was still dialing up BBSes. The only "real people" that knew anything about networking and/or how to use it were techs, large corporations, banks and branches, etc. The general public didn't even know how to use personal computers until Windows 95 and even those who did couldn't afford to buy one. The only movie I can think of that really pre-dates this is WarGames. To wrap it up, 1993 is before the Internet boom and is therefore before its time.
Cyberpunk themes with tech fears for 1993. This film hyped after the concept of virtual reality as an external delusion of reality. The killer sounds static like a character from Johnny Mnemonic.
I rented this for my birthday when I was a kid. It was my second R-rated movie I ever saw. My first was Alien 3 which I also rented with this. And Lawnmower Man 2, the less said the better.
I'm watching this in 2024 after someone posted something unrelated called Ghosts in the Machine 2, I immediately had memories of this movie I forgot about as a kid and it creeped me the hell out and was so good. I also loved both lawnmower man movies and the cgi blew my mind as a kid. Looking them up now I cant find this movie on DVD anywhere and also ALL the reviews are negative.
@@eddiewilliams7171 Ditto! At the time it was awesome, like the Lawnmower man, the movie sucked but the visuals... whoa! Then Jurassic Park later on in the year and well.. heh...
Has anyone taken a tally of the number of '90s trailers that use James Horner's score from Aliens? There's this, Alien 3 , Deceived, Robert Heinlein's The Puppet Masters, and The People Under the Stairs, that I know of. Also, how prophetic was that tagline: Coming On-Line?
If you watch Critters Trailer they reuse A Nightmare on Elm Street theme.It was common to reuse themes.Mostly due to have a set date if the composer wasn't giving cuts of the film to put music in the trailer.Then they just reuse music from other movies.
Who remembers a similar movie (same mood) about a guy who dies, and then comes back to life in a sort of a hi-tech corpse. I remember that by the end someone does the same thing to himself and they fight, am not sure but I remember them dying both. The hero have a wife, and by the end of the movie we see her with a child. Please someone knows this movie?
Eric Ferrier Lawnmower Man moreso than Virtuosity, because the point of the latter was SID 6.7 getting *out* of the computer (in his case, virtual reality) and *into* the real world, whereas with the villain from Ghost (also Jobe from Lawnmower Man) its the reverse-- but you not wrong, there are enough similarities (digital entities causing havoc in the real world). I would also add Brainscan to that list, if we're going with the whole 'computers gone wonky' theme.
i member I saw this when I was a kid n in part of the movie, 2 kids saved like 20 bucks to pay their babysitter to take off her top...that shit has been bothering for years trying to remember what the movie was..now i can go on with my lame life haha
@DeliciousPoop I'm assuming you're thinking of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which pretty much every comedy with a rogue AI parodies at some point. (HAL 9000 is kind of iconic in that way.) However, there is no horny home automation love triangle in Kubrick's film, since, like the title implies, it is in outer-fucking-space.

Well i doubt it. This came out only 2 months after the x files ep aired. You might get a "movie" like Suburban Sasquatch from preplan to release in 2 months, but not a major Hollywood release. Or even a dodgy movie like Samarui Cop took longer than 2 months to just film.
@@herculesbrofister265 Not sure anybody was claiming plagerism bud, just stating the plots themselves are very similar and happened to come out at the same time, implying a general consensus of thoughts and paranioas at the time being written into things like this.
True, compared to nowadays the CGI wasn't great, but go back to 1984 when "The Last Starfighter" was released - which was one of the original movie CGI pioneers - and it looks WAY hokier.

Never thought I'd see the similar type of CGI that was used in lawnmower man where a character is a bunch of little bubbles. Odd.
This movie reminds me how involved with lifestyle technologies we are today. "Oh no! The microwave is broken...I'm confused. I'm going to panic."

@compsciguy the Vindicator, I found it 😄
Not the theme for Aliens, that is the theme for Predator

Why they used the "Predator" theme and then "Alien 2" theme for this trailer goes beyond me...
La vi cuando era niño y hace unos días he estado recordando esta película pero no la encuentro en ninguna plataforma.
That's a scary thought,a ghost taking over machinery and killing people
Did you see 1988's _Pulse?_
anyone know more movies with this cocept?
closest one i can think of is shocker
Lawnmower Man or Virtuosity are fairly close. Maybe Evilspeak too.
