It was....   extremely bizarre...   enough to make the viewer definatly a
little jumpy by the end of the flick, even if you usually find horror
movies to be rather, well..  blah...

It's a shame there aren't more examples of the sci-fi/horror genre...
(my mind is actually a blank at the moment, but I'm sure there are a few).

my favorite corner movie genre is still "post-apocalyptic action sci-fi"
(think "aliens", or perhaps "the running man"), but there are a good
number of examples for that one.

Computer games don't affect kids. I mean if Pacman affected our generation as
kids, we'd all run around in a darkened room munching pills and listening to
repetitive music.
