Arcade Summary
Director: Albert Pyun
Genres: Fantasy, Horror
Rating:
This long-delayed sci-fi/horror project from Charles_Band's "B"-factory Full Moon Entertainment features Megan_Ward and Peter_Billingsley (once the cuddly hero of A_Christmas_Story) as a pair of suburban teens who discover that the neighborhood's most popular virtual-reality video game -- unimaginatively-dubbed Arcade -- is possessed of a malevolent intelligence and a hunger for young souls. After several Arcade junkies are captured by the digital demon, our heroes decide to strap on their virtual helmets and go head-to-head with the computer to rescue them, facing a confounding series of elaborate puzzles and eventually squaring off against the soul of Arcade itself. "B"-movie journeyman Albert_Pyun handles the virtual reality fantasy scenes with verve, though the mediocre effects are hardly worth the endless delays that hounded this production. This film's entire premise was explored far more expertly 10 years earlier in Disney's Tron, and with far more interesting characters than this brooding bunch. Cavett Binion, Rovi
