Ghost in the Machine

Ghost in the Machine (1993) is an American sci-fi horror thriller directed by Rachel Talalay that you can watch online on iFILM. Karen Allen plays Terry, a single mother who ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time — her address gets written into a serial killer's notebook. Then the killer crashes his car, and things get much stranger.

The accident doesn't kill Karl, the so-called Address Book Killer played by Ted Marcoux. Instead, a freak electrical surge during surgery flings his consciousness into the city's power grid. He's everywhere now — in the wiring, the monitors, the home appliances. Terry's microwave, her son's computer, the security systems on the street: Karl turns every plugged-in device into a weapon and starts working through his list. Wil Horneff plays Terry's son, who figures out what's happening before any adult believes him.

Made in 1993, when home computers were just becoming a household fixture, the film taps into a real anxiety about the machines people were starting to trust. Stream Ghost in the Machine (1993) online on iFILM.
