Trivia:
Approximately 40 minutes into the movie, a computer is scrolling through a list of names in a phone book, in search of its next victim. The names listed are mostly Hollywood producers. Going through the list slowly reveals Caryn Mandab(ach), Wink Martindale, Lorne Michaels (SNL), Bill Melendez (Charlie Brown specials), Neal Marlens (Growing Pains), Thomas L. Miller (Full House) and a host of others. The name the computer is searching for is Terry Munroe, which (maybe by coincidence) happens to be the birth name of actor Stepin Fetchit. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In one of the early scenes, we see Karen (mother) traveling along the street in her Volvo sedan from a distance, in which you can clearly see there is no-one visible in the passenger front seat. It is empty. In the next scene we see her son sitting in the seat. moreQuotes:
Phil Stewart: You don't think a hacker did this do you?Bram: Well, when you leave it out in the open no self-respecting hacker is going to pass it by.
Phil Stewart: [grits teeth and pulls hair out] Auugghhh! God Damnit!
[tears out of room]
Phil Stewart: Get the hell out of my way!
Bram: You know you don't handle stress very well, Phil.
Phil Stewart: Jesus Christ.

Serial killer who murders people after he steals their address books is in a freak car accident while heading towards his newest would be victim's (Karen Allen) house. At the hospital he dies while getting a cat scan during the middle of a thunder storm. As a result his spirit is transfarred to the electrical system. There he continues to stalk and find the right moment to carry out his murderous ways.
If you can get past the premise, you might have some fun with this flick. The effects are average at best and the cast is nothing special, but the film does have its moments and a rather exciting finale. Rated R; Strong Violence.
