Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Excellent, a Must See

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

A really lame movie. Used Stephen King's idea of Lawnmower man but failed miserably. Stupid is the best description I can use. I wouldn't waste my time watching it. I can't believe I watched this to the end. Started out with a serial killer that stole people's phone books and killed everyone listed in them. This alone was not a very creative idea. Then the scene where the killer had a car accident, you heard him laughing but the actor wasn't laughing. He is taken to the hospital and while having an MRI he dies because of a power failure due to lightening. This is where the movie really takes a dive. It is down hill from there. Don't waste your time even watching this one. The only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is because I watched it till the end.

I have to agree with several reviewers who tired of the special effects. By now, we cannot suspend disbelief enough after years of the internet, and the premise is tired and dated.Karen Allen, a decent actor, elevates the material a bit, as well as Chris Mulkey and a few amusing scenes with Jessica Walter, as the cantankerous mother in law.Other than that, the only memorable scene is when the dog disappears under the swimming pool tarp. You may want to skip this one unless you are easily led by sci-fi fiction. Recommended if you are completely bored on a rainy day. 4/10.

Ghost in the Machine, 1993 Imagine if you took Lawnmowerman 2 and made a crappy version, then splice it with a lame serial killer thriller. Wait, you think Lawnmowerman 2 is already a crappy movie? Boy, are you in for a treat. This is actually worse.This monstrosity revolves around a serial killer who's known as the "Address Book Killer." See, he steals an address book, then goes and kills everybody in it. No sh*t. And yet, his kill count isn't even up to 20
Kinda makes you wonder about the lifeless shut-ins he's stealing these things from. At any rate, on he's also a tech whiz because that apparently makes perfect sense (to the filmmakers at least) when he's rocketed into being a creature made entirely out of electrical current. Oh yeah, that's right. Just like in Lawnmowerman 2, this guy is reduced to being electrical impulses who kills people via their various electronics devices. Except here, he enters the electrical world by being, apparently, swallowed up by an X-Ray machine in a hospital during a thunderstorm. So, anyway, he starts stalking this woman and her kid and her address book inhabitants in bizarre and nonsensical ways. He shows up to terrorize the kid while he's playing a Virtual Reality video game. For no reason whatsoever, the kid's face appears on his VR counterpart, and while there aren't details of any sort in the images or game, somehow the ability to blast off an arm exists. Trust me when I say that VR games from circa 1993 were no where near this accurate. Actually, they also really lacked anything even remotely fun. Eventually, the kid and his Mom and some computer hacker genius (not kidding) pull the super-electro-killer out of the world of copper cables and into our world. He looks like a Jobe from the first Lawnmowerman in one of his all-CG forms
That is, if he was crappily crafted and animated by a blind man in a high school equipment closet. Of course, bullets don't hurt him, but magnets sure f*ck him up.This film really has no good merits, pretty much at all. Not since the ridiculousness of Wes Craven's "Shocker" has the world of science and technology been so thoroughly eviscerated and replaced by malevolent ignorance and fantasy. And this makes "Shocker" look competent. The endless early 90's Rap music doesn't help things, either. Of course, the inept script and mindless direction aside, the film also suffers with room-temperature acting, substandard atmosphere, and near endless stupidity. The violence and gore are decent enough. But, it's best to just avoid this one.2/10

Predictable. Horrid. Waste of time. The only thing appealing about this steaming pile of $#!t is the laughs it provokes. That's all I could do; was simply laugh - hysterically. I saw something about a possible sequel to this... I seriously doubt after 12 years that anyone would remember this thing, but the problem is that the newer graphics would be better, and someone might try to fix the story. But why would anyone want to do that? The storyline was a fairly good idea, but the execution was beyond terrible. Even for 1993, The Lawnmower Man came out a year before, and although the graphics are a bit dated by todays standards, they were so much better. If this thing ever airs again on any of the premium networks... get some friends together and give this the old MST3K treatment. It deserves it.
