I recently caught this and was laughing most of the way through at the silly script, loopy synth music, crass lighting and very naff fashions, but it also amazed and shocked me, when I looked it up online and discovered it wasn't made in 1983!Worth a look for the model work and special effects, and if you enjoy the so-bad-it's-good genre of sci-fi movie.

I saw another version of this movie about 8 years before this one was released. There was a computer named Lola that was absorbing human energy and trapped a bunch of people inside a building. The newer version 1994 differed greatly from the original but the same theme was used. I like movies where computers take over some of my favorites are Demon Seed and Colusus the Forbin Project. I think one day computers will be smarter than humans possibly in our lifetime. I mean in my fathers day going to the moon was science fiction but today its an every day occurrence, these movies show the dangers of science and technologies continual progress and are to be noted.

Unfairly trashed little telemovie I feel. Sure its derivative and non too brilliant in its execution (as it were). Simplistic tale of a computer techo who is taken on in a high-rise that is the domain of the computer-in-charge.....a la GREMLINS 2. The computer takes an instant dislike to Reiser and after multiple "violations" marks him for "deletion"Sure, just about everything you see has been done before...but hell its still entertaining in a B-Grade, got-nothing-else-to-do-anyway kinda way! OK, the script is crap....the fx somewhere between acceptable and less-than-average but Reiser's infectious attitude keeps the thing's head above water!A solid 5 which makes the thing not a total loss. Watch it, have a laugh!

I saw this movie on or local cable station a little while ago and found myself enjoying it. It is a predictable movie, but I continued to watch anyway. Paul Rieser is both the star and the comic relief as Tony. his character is enjoyable, a little annoying sometimes, but not enough that you are put off by him. He has several good one liners. and several scenes where he sings "Bad Moon Rising" The basic plot is that Tony starts running up computer violations in his new job. after a few, the computer, CAS, who's the mind of the building, views him as a security risk and decides to terminate him, and while doing so, kills off several innocent people in the process. watch it if you ever have the chance, I enjoyed it to the end. SPOILER AHEAD...My only gripe is that Roger Rees gets killed off way to early. I am a fan of his, and I felt that a lot more could have been done with his character. I would have really enjoyed the movie if He and Paul Rieser teamed up to stop the building. Other than that, it was an enjoyable movie.7/10 ***P.S. future Dinner and a Movie host Annabelle Gurwitch is also featured in a small role
