      Steve D Really dated but I bet it sucked then too. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Very very VERY dumb, very silly, and not scary at all. Made all the worse by how it viewed the internet back then. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad dude becomes killer computer virus. Pure shlock. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A Silly but fun and underrated 90s movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A vastly underased film which has received mostly negative views. True the film does have a very dated style firmly set in the early 90s......but that's part of its charm.critics have said the film was highly unrealistic & far fetched in its portroyal of how Internet computers & electrical appliances work.eg: microwaves can't work with the door open & cook you to death. It's a bit rated science fiction horror slasher of course it's going to have highly unrealistic death scenes what did you expect?? If the scenes were too realistic there wouldn't be any need to use effects & the plot would become boring.......it's campy cheesy & fun it's certainly not a film anyone can take seriously but it's still fun to watch ! The music in the film is also catchy & brings back fond memories of how music sounded when I was a child.2 hilights of the film would be the microwave scene which had spectacular effects & the babysitters campy death with the exploding dishwasher frying her as soon as the tidal wave of water hit thes plug of the tv she's watching Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly, silly movie. The mom is super hot though. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Harper Barnes St. Louis Post-Dispatch Matters grow even stupider, not helped by indifferent acting and directing, bad dialogue and, in the final scene, confusing spatial relationships. May 24, 2023 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 0/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 1/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant While Talalay and her writers have dreamed up a number of fairly imaginative ways to show the hazards of household machines and gadgets, their horror effort offers few truly scary moments and not a few ridiculous ones. May 29, 2018 Full Review Keith Breese Filmcritic.com A reboot is definitely in order here. Rated: 2/5 Jan 25, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...exceedingly silly and surprisingly tedious... Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 14, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
