Harper Barnes St. Louis Post-Dispatch May 24, 2023
Matters grow even stupider, not helped by indifferent acting and directing, bad dialogue and, in the final scene, confusing spatial relationships. Go to Full Review
Malcolm L. Johnson Hartford Courant May 29, 2018
While Talalay and her writers have dreamed up a number of fairly imaginative ways to show the hazards of household machines and gadgets, their horror effort offers few truly scary moments and not a few ridiculous ones. Go to Full Review

Harry W Feb 25, 2018 A Silly but fun and underrated 90s movie!
Dec 21, 2017 A vastly underased film which has received mostly negative views. True the film does have a very dated style firmly set in the early 90s......but that's part of its charm.critics have said the film was highly unrealistic & far fetched in its portroyal of how Internet computers & electrical appliances work.eg: microwaves can't work with the door open & cook you to death. It's a bit rated science fiction horror slasher of course it's going to have highly unrealistic death scenes what did you expect?? If the scenes were too realistic there wouldn't be any need to use effects & the plot would become boring.......it's campy cheesy & fun it's certainly not a film anyone can take seriously but it's still fun to watch ! The music in the film is also catchy & brings back fond memories of how music sounded when I was a child.2 hilights of the film would be the microwave scene which had spectacular effects & the babysitters campy death with the exploding dishwasher frying her as soon as the tidal wave of water hit thes plug of the tv she's watching See more
