10 Scariest Technology Horror Movies

6. Ghost In The Machine

Ghost In The Machine Movie 1993
20th Century Fox

While the concept for this flick is somewhat goofy by today's standards, it presented a provocative image for the early 90s and still holds up as a fun and frightening film with a great killer villain and a tonne of imaginative murders.

Ghost in the Machine sticks true to its title, as the movie centres on a serial killer named Karl Hochman, who ends up as one with technology. After being part of a fatal car-accident, Hochman is placed into an MRI machine when an electrical surge ends up transferring his soul into a computer. From there, he uses his newfound plane of existence to continue his murderous spree.

Of course, some of the computer-generated visual effects are poor by today's standards, but you can hardly blame the title for that, seeing as it released in 1993. It deserves a lot of commendation for trying to utilise digital effects at a time when they weren't so widespread.

Additionally, the villains position inside a computer programme means that he can carry out some wicked kills, which certainly comes to fruition. There is a flamethrower hand dryer, exposed electrical cord, a radiated microwave and more.
