'Ghost in The Machine' (1993) – Rachel Talalay.

Rachel 'Tank Girl' Talalay's slick, surprisingly entertaining, high tech terror flick has a fine cast, and is one of the earliest horror films to feature a fully integrated, virtual reality serial killer. Due to a grievous MRI scanner electrical mishap, ailing homicidal maniac, Karl (Ted Marcoux) is fatefully digitised into a murderously pixelated, computer mainframe dwelling digital despot! This inventive, competently made Sci-Horror has aged remarkably well, excitingly maintaining its sinister, paranoid edge. Solid performances, dynamic set pieces, a great score by, Graeham Ravell, and the imaginative kills remain impactful to this very day. Fans of 'Shocker', 'Prison' and 'The Lawnmower Man' should certainly enjoy the terminal impulses of the demented dial-up death dealer in, Rachel Talalay's high voltage cyber-slasher 'Ghost in The Machine'.
