And yet some things never change. It is after All that hoary old plot device the Bolt from the Blue that sets things in motion. Specifically it s a Bolt from an electrical storm that affects a Hospital s Fri machine. It happens that the shattered body being scanned belongs to a computer repairman Ted mar co who spends his off hours Butch ering innocent families. He crashed his car on the Way to the Home of his next victims a Divorcee Karen Allen and her rap Loving computer hacking teen age son Wil Horneff. The storm causes a Power surge in the Fri machine sending the killer s internal atoms into the City s electrical circuitry and computer systems. Legally he s dead but he s now an interfacing psycho if you can plug it in he can kill you with it. Sticking to his original plan he goes after Allen by Messing up her Bank account drowning her dog harassing her son and microwaving her Boss. It s up to a super Hacker Chris Mulkey to try to outwit the killer. The movie works on a superficial and not terribly original level As a cautionary tale of Pur Over dependence on technology and what could happen if the machines bite Back. There s also a Nice Little generational clash Woven lightly into the relationship Between Allen and Horneff. But beyond the premise and the computer generated special effects there s not much Extension in imagination or audacity. Director Rachel Tala Lay who also did Freddy s dead the final Nightmare brings some of the old Elm Street brio to a few of the uglier moments. It la be hard to face your faithful microwave oven with the same ardor after you be seen the movie but this is basically a Hacker s Over heated idea of grand Grignol sus Pense. It leaves you with the same kind of languid lightheadedness one gets after an afternoon wandering a mall looking not buying. Ghost in the machine gets 2vz stars. Page 12 sunday january 23, 1994
