X-Treme Era Computer Chiller Thriller
22 January 2021
There's quite a few reviews on here telling you how bad this film is. I'd have to disagree on a lot of the criticisms: the direction is professional for the most part - at least on par with any episode of "Hunter", the acting is fine (even 'good' in some cases, particularly Farrah Forke who would later go on to act in major productions), even the overall story idea is fairly intriguing if not entirely original. What went wrong? Well, details. Moments in the script that betray an otherwise reasonably crafted tale. Unintentional comedic moments - mostly from overacting on the part of the less talented supporting cast and their ( or the directors) poor performance choices. Budget and technology also bring this film down - what might have looked passable in 1990 for computer CGI is now assuredly dated and probably 'laughable' to anyone born after the year the film was made. This kind of reminds me of "God Told Me To" except instead of aliens, we have a computer software company manipulating people to do crazy things. It's not as good as "God" by some degree, but any B movie fan should find some redeeming qualities about it. Very little to none in terms of depicted violence or nudity, so that will disappoint the majority.
