+Talk about a surprise!
+I was expecting a _schlock_, but I've seen a nice move.
+A dumb one, but still.
+
+The plot is the biggest problem: a serial killer has an MRI and due to electric storm gets his soul moved to computer network.
+With this, he becomes able to:
+
+- kill person by moving to a microwave and changing its settings,
+- kill a dog by arousing it with a TV program (using nothing by electric breakers), then hitting the dog with a VHS tape ejected from a VHS player which causes the animal to run towards the pool
+
+It makes as little sense in the context of the movie as it does here.
+But the acting is (at the very least) acceptable and the FX are better than they should - and there is a lot of them.
+Moreover, the camera work is crazy!
+The movie _looks_ better than it should.
+It seems that this dumb, little movie got more passion in it than the entire MCU combined.
+
+The problem is that I have no idea what was going on.
+People were dying, cool computer interfaces were shown, but the plot barely connected those scenes together.
+
+It's a classic thriller from early days of personal computing revolution.
+I enjoyed it a lot.
+It is not a _good_ movie, but it is enjoyable.
+
+I give it a `3.0/5.`
