The premise
Video game developer Clayton Software enlists the talents of a misfit group of programmers to develop the scariest computer combat game: EVILUTION. With four weeks to bring the game to market and a million-dollar bonus on the line, they utilize a telemetry suit to render a 3-D version of the onscreen player. But when a power surge gives the hard drive a mind of its own, the suit comes to life to play the game for real and the programming team find themselves in the middle of a chilling virtual nightmare beyond their wildest imagination.
Horror Vault's take
When a scrappy team of programmers races against the clock to finish a terrifying combat video game, a freak electrical surge transforms their cutting-edge tech into something far deadlier than any virtual enemy. Trapped inside the facility with a million-dollar bonus dangling overhead, the coders quickly discover that the most dangerous monster isn't on their screens. This late-night cable creature feature blends Silicon Valley ambition with old-school horror thrills, delivering a B-movie premise executed with genuine menace.
