Always thought this was a GREAT movie and, yes, I always thought a major studio should have picked up the idea. I mean c'mon, we've had a remake of "Hairspray" already and it's only 20 years old! This movie could be done super-right in this day and age due to the advancements in...uh...computer technology. Watching the movie now, it does seem to not be as great as I remembered it, but still very good...especially the idea. And the "lights going off down the hallway" scene...along with the "the elevator almost reached it's floor" scene...are definite classics. If you do not have a copy of this, search one out and enjoy the great story line done in grand-but-cheesy TV-movie style

I saw this on TV when I was 8; it was incredibly scary then. Saw it years later and marveled at the prescient use of computers and identity theft mixed with s.f. horror that could have appeared in "Ring." And there would be no "Videodrome" without it.

I can remember seeing "The Paper Man " during a midnight movie session in about 1975. I can remember being terrified, as a 12 year old, thinking that this was possible. I think it is amazing to think that this movie now has possibilities of becoming true and actually happening. It is a scary thought. I love to watch movies about computers taking over and there are several I have seen. I would love to see this movie again as it scared the life out of me and I wonder if after all the horrors since, if it can still scare me.

I saw this movie while I was employed at a university computer center. It so spooked me that I refused to be alone there at night. Nearly 30 years later, bits of the movie still creep into my daily cyberlife. Imagine all the computer-controlled devices in your life bent on killing you. Makes you think twice before punching your computer again!
