A serial killer is on the loose who finds his victims from stolen address books. He goes after a single mother and her son, but on the way to their house he loses control of his car in a storm and crashes. Getting a CAT scan at the hospital, lightning from the storm surges through the building, converting his soul into electrical energy. He continues on his killing rampage, possessing household goods and the like to murder his victims.
Now, this movie has a great deal of flaws, but its so cheesy and fun. It definitely falls in the “so bad it’s good” category. It's filled with all of this "futuristic technology" which just charms the pants off of me. I don’t know whether its just because the standards were different back then, but i was really surprised by how competent the cinematography was. Some of the deaths are pretty awesome too, including an infamous microwave scene that is as ridiculous as it is awesome. At times it feels like a predecessor to the Final Destination series, drawing out anticipation for inventive deaths (one death sequence in particular feels very much like Final Destination, and is utterly hilarious and unforeseeable.) Its been SLAMMED on imdb, but i think if films as poorly made as Pieces or the first Friday 13th can be considered great, there is no reason that this couldn’t be either.
