795 Ghost In The Machine (1993 )

 This computerhorror  film falls somewhere between Shocker and  The  Lawnmower Man  as  a  dying  serial killer's  brain  scan  goes viral and he uses the net ( this must be one of  the  earliest films where the word "internet" features) to carry on his  killing spree. One  of  my favourite  actresses, Karen Allen plays  his  prime  target along  with  her  teenage  son  and  an amiable hacker ( Chris Mulkey ). There  are  one  or  two  decent  shocks  but  overall it's  pretty  average  and  of  course  the  VR  graphics  look horribly  dated.

Karen Allen ( as Terry )

Sex : No

Death : Survives


Karen was born in Illinois  and was 27 when she made her screen debut in National Lampoon's Animal House in 1978. She  made her  name as  Marion Ravenwood in  Raiders Of The Lost Ark and has reprised her role in the last two sequels. She  also made an impact in Starman  but  her  first love has always been stage  acting and the leading  roles dried up as she was often unavailable. Her  film career since then  has largely  comprised meaty roles in  independent  films  and  small ones in Hollywood pics. She  also runs her own textiles business.

Shevonne Durkin ( as Carol )

Sex: Carol partially reveals her breasts to TErry's son and his friend

Death : Electrocuted when the ghost causes a washing machine to explode.


Shevoone  is  from  California  and had  a  number of glamour  parts on film and TV in  the  nineties. Her  career petered outafter  that, her  last  appearance  coming  in  the film Spermicide in 2014.
