The premise
A simple man is turned into a genius through the application of computer science.
Horror Vault's take
A well-meaning scientist uses cutting-edge virtual reality technology and experimental drugs to dramatically accelerate the intelligence of a simple, good-natured man — with results that spiral far beyond anyone's control. What begins as a promising experiment in human potential quickly reveals a darker side, as newfound power reshapes its subject in terrifying ways. Equal parts cautionary sci-fi tale and psychological thriller, this early-90s cult entry captures an era of technophobia at the dawn of the digital age.
