This April is \u201cCyber Techno Future Shock\u201d month at Catching Up On Cinema!

\n

All month long we'll be reviewing some of the goofiest \u201ctechno-thrillers\u201d from the 90's.

\n

This week, Trevor conducts a solo review of Rachel Talalay's, Ghost in the Machine (1993)!

\n

A story of a serial killer that continues his killing ways after being transformed into a electrical force that can inhabit and manipulate all things connected to the electrical grid, Ghost in the Machine (1993) is a colorful and at times silly horror film that plays fast and loose with science and physics.

\n

Featuring Final Destination-esque, Rube Goldberg machine style kill sequences, happy rap, mischievous/petulant kids with floppy hair, and copious amounts of CGI, including one VR sequence, Ghost in the Machine is terrific nostalgia fodder for those of the cowabunga generation.
