10 Scariest Technology Horror Movies

10. EXistenZ

Despite the rather cheesy and goofy title, this is a harrowing horror flick that deals with some compelling and inventive concepts. It comes from the legendary mind of David Cronenberg, so it's no surprise that the practical imagery is horrifying. It's a fascinating exploration of video gaming, virtual reality, and assassination.

The movie follows a game designer named Allegra Geller - played wonderfully by Jennifer Jason Leigh. Geller, who has become a target for international assassins, plays through the virtual reality game she has created - named Existenz - with a marketing trainee to test if it is safe.

As can be expected from this director, there is a tonne of biological/technological body horror, which taints the idea of humanity and plays with the very concept of the relationship between human and machine. At the heart of the film is a truly frightening story about the connection between the virtual world and the real one.

It's gooey, slimy and yet still mechanical, giving it a distinctly hybrid vibe. If the film hadn't released around the same time as The Matrix, it might be remembered better today.
