This sci-fi horror film was very loosely ( so loose he sued to dissociate himself from it ) based on a Stephen King short story. Pierce Brosnan plays Dr Angelo, a driven scientist working in Virtual Reality for a shady corporation. When he loses his subject chimp, he enlists Jobe ( Jeff Fahey ) a retarded gardener for his experiments. Jobe soon attains normalcy but then develops much further than intended. The plot has more in common with the Oscar-winning Charly from 1968 than the source material and though the effects inevitably look dated it's still an absorbing story, the last half hour being an edge of the seat thrill ride.
Jenny Wright (as Margie )
Sex : Margie has sex with Jobe
Death : Survives but brain-damaged
Jenny was a former model from New York who first appeared on TV in 1981. She made her film debut the following year in Pink Floyd :The Wall. A small part in St Elmo's Fire put her on the fringe of the Brat Pack and she dated Nicolas Cage for a time. This was her final film role and she dropped out of the public eye after a couple more TV appearances
Colleen Coffey ( as Caroline Angelo)
Sex : Caroline comes onto her husband but he's not interested
Death : Survives
This was Colleen's first film role after a smattering of TV appearances. She remained a bit part actress before retiring into family life after 1997.
