Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

david-sarkies To quickly describe this I would call it some strange b-grade horror movie, the ones that I find funnier than scarier. As I always say about horror movies, is that what I find scary are things that could really happen, and I find them more disturbing than scary. Movies like Misery, the Net, and even Very Bad Things, are more horrifying than this. Even though what happened in this movie is theoretically possible, it does not leave the images that a movie like Very Bad Things does.This movie is about a futuristic building that is run and protected by a very sophisticated computer. The problem is that the computer is so rigid that is there is one thing wrong then it construes it as its programs would do. If you park in the wrong place, or don't look after your keycard, then the computer will construe you as an intruder.This movie seems to have been created by a cookie cutter. It has a nasty unbeatable opponent, a pretty girl, a daring man, and people dying horrible deaths. Other than that the only real moral of this movie is that you shouldn't rely on computers because they can be unpredictable in the most predictable ways. It was an okay movie, but really doesn't do all that much.

VanillaLimeCoke The Tower 1993 movie is definitely a very flawed but yet enjoyable SCI-FI fantasy horror film.New worker Tony Minot (played by Paul Reiser) messes his key card by using the old jimmy the lock open trick after locking himself out of his apartment (back then they seemed to issue the key cards before your first day of work).It's not quite clear what Tony's new exact job is, but he isn't the model worker. He seems to eat unhealthy (cold pizza for breakfast), goof off (play paper ball slide on vent ducts), failed to watch the orientation videos (they were boring), and tampers with the equipment which gets the security system really upset.Littlehill the boss (Roger Rees) is definitely a no non-sense guy stickler. But then again he gives Tony a huge assignment just before quitting time that day; despite the fact that Tony has a date. I mean come on, it's his first day; and then of all things Littlehill goes into his own personal sauna (a sauna at work??).But that's just the least of Tony's worries as the security system goes on night mode and turns very brutal starting to execute the employees; thinking they're Tony.Tony eventually makes it out but then his co-worker (Linda played by Susan Norman) steps in and he has to rescue her and go back through the horror fun house for round two.This film is like that X-Files episode "Ghost in the Machine" plugging into DIE HARD.While the film is set on 8/1/1992 (which is actually a Saturday), the music and sounds make it seem more like 1987 or 1988.This is just yet another underrated TV movie. The whole film seems unintentionally funny.I would definitely see the film if it sounds interesting.

Marvin Wright 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.

G-Man-25 A cheap, dumb, derivative and mostly unintentionally funny hybrid of sci-fi and disaster flicks that nonetheless manages to entertain, IF you're not too demanding. Would be a prime candidate for a feature on "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" if that show was still on the air. The technology and effects in the movie are already hilariously out of date, like some bad TV-movie from the 1970s. Some prime heckle-worthy dialogue and situations abound. All in all, amateurish fun for everyone!
