Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

One of the main reasons this movie was a box office failure was that Jurassic Park came out the same year, rivaling Ghost in the Machine in it's CGI, star power, and budget. There are some parts of the movie where the characters seem plain stupid. There's a scene where the beautiful babysitter, (who just five minutes ago had a pointless scene where she undoes her shirt for a couple of pre-teens) is watching TV with no headphones or anything other than the speakers to distract her from outside noise, and the dishwasher is made to overflow by the "Ghost in the Machine". Of course, as the water takes around 20 seconds to fill the area of the floor, the babysitter has absolutely no idea what is going on RIGHT UNDERNEATH HER FEET. And of course, she doesn't actually realize anything until the water makes contact with an electrical device and shocks her to death. Then, there is a part where the main protagonist, (Josh,) tries to run at the "Ghost", and Chris Mulkey holds him back, pulling out a very, VERY small pistol and attempting to fire at the entity. Of course, our supernatural antagonist is able to knock the gun out of his hand. He wouldn't even have to, though, because HE'S ALREADY DEAD. At the end, the movie borrows heavily from Terminator 2. Doesn't this sound familiar? A humanoid figure made out of 90's CGI liquid chasing a mother and son around a dangerous warehouse complete with sparks flying out of the walls and ceiling, while the handsome father figure to the boy wearing a coat tries to protect them? Well, you'll see that scene in both Terminator 2 AND Ghost in the Machine as your big finale. The reason I rated it a 7 is because it's still great fun, and certainly entertaining. My MAIN gripe is that Brandon Quintin Adams (from The People Under the Stairs) wasn't used half as much as he should have been.

... and I should have never watched it now. A bad rip off of Nightmare on Elm Street mixed with Lawnmower Man, & a bit of Shocker.Sure, you are not supposed to ask questions like "Gee, why is the Address Book Killer such a stupid name?" or "Why don't CAT scans have surge protectors?", but it's hard not to.I found myself at odds with even more bewildering, illogical explanations. Such as how a serial killer suddenly has control of every single electrical appliance and mechanism. Look, I'm not the one to judge intelligence when it comes to sci-fi or any "good" movie that requires a stretch of the imagination. But had the movie moved out of the realm of a typical hospital CAT scan, and more into a mad scientist lab...I cared so little for the characters, with the exception of Karen Allen's. Her son is a brat, so what if he dies? The bad guy is so... meh. Typical & boring. Special FX's are laughable, even by it's time of release. Compared to computer sfx extravaganza Jurassic Park, which released the same year, GITM showed it's low budget like strings holding a UFO. Like many 80's movies, it tried to reach out to a new "computer horror" genre, but this movie was from the 90's. Too late.

I have to agree with several reviewers who tired of the special effects. By now, we cannot suspend disbelief enough after years of the internet, and the premise is tired and dated.Karen Allen, a decent actor, elevates the material a bit, as well as Chris Mulkey and a few amusing scenes with Jessica Walter, as the cantankerous mother in law.Other than that, the only memorable scene is when the dog disappears under the swimming pool tarp. You may want to skip this one unless you are easily led by sci-fi fiction. Recommended if you are completely bored on a rainy day. 4/10.

One of the dumbest movies I ever had to struggle through AND an ideal example to illustrate just how worthless the horror genre was during the early 90's. Really everything about this movie is horrid, starting with the nonsensical idea of a serial killer without personality who continues his murderous habits after he died, and this through computers, dishwashers and other electrical household items! The guy got killed in a car accident but his "soul" was transferred to cyberspace so he can cheerfully go on with his modus operandi of slaughtering everybody who's in Karen Allen's address book. Considering the premise of this film is so ridiculous, you'd expect that the cast -and crew members themselves wouldn't take their jobs very seriously, right? Well hell no! There's absolutely no sense of humor in the script and every 'actor' devotedly produces his/her lines like as if they are part of some eminent Hitchcock production. The overuse of visual, headache-provoking effects is very annoying and also pretty pointless, since no one really knows how a soul floating around in cyberspace must be portrayed. So all they do is showing some wild and colorful images that look like irritating screen-savers. There's no suspense (or what else did you expect) and the gore – although plenty – is not at all convincing. The only element worth mentioning (childish of me as well, I know) is the supportive role of a young and ambitious actress called Shevonne Durkin. This cute and cherubic girl appears as the babysitter who shows some beautiful cleavage before getting her butt electrocuted. My generous rating 2 out of 10 therefore entirely belongs to her.
