although I seem to be somewhat alone in this- almost everyone to whom I recommended it thought it was just fair. It's not really horror at all, more an exploration of levels of reality, based upon the concept of virtual reality videogames. Once you get into the game, what is real, what is not real- plus there is the very Cronenberg touch that the technology is biological and slimy, not the gleaming machines that are seen in most sci-fi. I thought the concept was ingenious and the execution near-flawless, all the way to the very last line. This has little of the slasher movie, it's more sci-fi/fantasy, definitely influenced by William Burroughs and Philip K. Dick.
