The plot is so simple: deadly electricity. It has its scary moments, but lacks the acting that could have made it great. The movie falls in the same field of PG-13 "horror" that such other underrated '80s films have, like "Critters." Go see this one, if you can, since it's in limited release and is hard to find.
