A college professor & an unlikely female ally get targeted by a computer-worshiping cult.
This one took a lot of acclimatisation. A lot of characters are introduced in the beginning, most of them not to be seen until the very end. The hero, a college professor who has neither balls nor ethics, is a hard lead to root for. The fun begins when the techno-whiz cult, in garish & spooky costumes, start their killing spree and the wife of one of the victims tries to solve the riddle in very unconventional ways (kudos to Lauren "The Nanny" Lane for adding much-needed spunk to the movie).
This has all the charm of naive 80's sci-fi movies, with big, bold letters sending big, scary messages on big, green computer screens. Atari slasher. The whole set-up is extremely silly and the director constantly winks to the audience, but the humor actually weighs the story down. Fortunately, it moves quite fast and the interaction between the leads is the main attraction. Cheap fun if you're not too demanding.
