One of my all-time favorites!, 31 August 2002
9/10
Author: timhoustontx-1 (timhoustontx@hotmail.com) from Houston, TX

great concept plus great imagery: takes every-day 80's concepts that slowly meld into futuristic looking situations. E.g. girl in work-out clothes later looks futuristic... The idea that watching a video makes you crazy enough to kill is great...plus the fact that the video story is recursive...the story on the video is about people who watch a video...
