SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

clkottke-95157 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.

silentcheesedude ... and I should have never watched it now. A bad rip off of Nightmare on Elm Street mixed with Lawnmower Man, & a bit of Shocker.Sure, you are not supposed to ask questions like "Gee, why is the Address Book Killer such a stupid name?" or "Why don't CAT scans have surge protectors?", but it's hard not to.I found myself at odds with even more bewildering, illogical explanations. Such as how a serial killer suddenly has control of every single electrical appliance and mechanism. Look, I'm not the one to judge intelligence when it comes to sci-fi or any "good" movie that requires a stretch of the imagination. But had the movie moved out of the realm of a typical hospital CAT scan, and more into a mad scientist lab...I cared so little for the characters, with the exception of Karen Allen's. Her son is a brat, so what if he dies? The bad guy is so... meh. Typical & boring. Special FX's are laughable, even by it's time of release. Compared to computer sfx extravaganza Jurassic Park, which released the same year, GITM showed it's low budget like strings holding a UFO. Like many 80's movies, it tried to reach out to a new "computer horror" genre, but this movie was from the 90's. Too late.

preppy-3 Movie about a divorced mother (Karen Allen) and her kid (Wil Horneff) being menaced by the Address Book Killer (Ted Marcoux). He steals peoples address books and kills the persons mentioned in them. Through a series of increasingly stupid (and illogical) circumstances, he ends up dead but his soul has been transferred into machines and travels around through computer systems and such. Also, Allen's book was put on computer and he uses it to kill her friends and family...and go after her and her son.I was one of the (very) few people who paid to see this in theatre. Saw it in a huge auditorium with a large screen and a great sound system. I saw it because I like Karen Allen, I love horror movies and the premise sounded interesting--not good but interesting. With the large screen and the stereo sound this movie really comes to life. The special effects are actually pretty good (especially for 1993) and the sound effects really kick in at the end. I love the way you "see" him travelling through computer systems and wires. The special effects however can't totally save the movie.The plot (as said before) was just ridiculous. I mean come ON! He also manages to make electrical appliances do things they can't do. HOW can a hand dryer spit out flames? How did he manage to get on the radio of all the police cars in the area and give them different signals? And I wasn't aware a microwave oven has enough radiation to kill a person! I realize you have to suspend disbelief with horror films but this one just got way too silly.The only things that make this work are good acting (especially by Allen), good direction by Rachel Talalay, a few funny bits by Jessica Walter and cool special effects. Still the plot really sinks this one. I give it a 4.

nitrofish0103 not one of the best movies I've seen but on a scale of 1 to 10 its a 5. kinda not as attention grabbing as it looked but it was an OK movie. i liked the book better. pretty decent plot. wasn't one of those movies id sit and watch every second of. the actors were good for the movie. could have used more of a special effect to it. although the effects at that time were OK . my attention waned after the first few minutes, since i didn't see it before , i felt compelled to at least try to watch it. i did watch it until the end. i still felt it was slow to gain my interest. although the way the killer enters the systems as he does did look pretty cool. the ended was okay but i still didn't gain a lot of interest. if it came on again i probably would not watch it. it was okay as far as the material but still not the best movie I've seen in awhile
