The premise

After a freak, fatal accident, the soul Karl—aka The Address Book Killer—ends up trapped in the electrical grid. He targets Terry and her son for his next victims, turning home technology against them as deadly weapons.

Horror Vault's take

When a notorious serial killer's consciousness becomes fused with the electrical grid after a freak accident, no device in the home is safe. A single mother and her son find themselves hunted by an unseen predator who can strike through any appliance, wire, or network connection. This early-nineties techno-horror taps into a pre-internet era anxiety about the sinister potential lurking inside everyday technology. Equal parts slick thriller and B-movie creature feature, it delivers kills you won't see coming from directions you'd never expect.
