Brandon Quintin Adams, Chris Ellis, Chris Mulkey

He’s known as "The Address-Book Killer," a murderer who steals strangers’ personal information then targets them for his grisly sprees. But when a freak electrical surge zaps his dying body into a com...( read more  read more... )puter mainframe, he’s unleashed online to slaughter the friends and family of Terry Monroe (Karen Allen of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and STARMAN). Now, no place or appliance is safe. Every impulse brings the carnage closer. How do you survive – and ultimately destroy – a madman who can massacre from anywhere? Chris Mulkey (RADIO) and Jessica Walter (Arrested Development) co-star in this shocker directed by Rachel Talalay (FREDDY’S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE) that features a soundtrack of wicked old-school Hip-Hop from Schoolly D, Too Short, Kool Moe Dee, Steady B, D-Nice and more.

I wouldn't show it to Young Children (Under 17) because of the cussing near the end of the movie, that?s just me. If you allow you...( read more)r children to hear cussing, then its on you. A somewhat entertaining movie for adults.
