When a lonely teenager (Edward Furlong) orders the latest interactive video game, the high-tech wizardry penetrates his subconscious, where his darkest impulses lead him through a deadly maze of murder, deception and desire. Pursued by a homicide detective (Frank Langella) and prodded by the trickster (T. Ryder Smith), he is torn between the worlds of good and evil, of reality and fantasy and, ultimately, of life and death. (official distributor synopsis)

A very pleasant surprise. I don’t know why, but I was expecting some semi-amateur trash and instead, I got a nice 1980s B-movie. Sure, it’s undemanding horror for kids, utterly harmless… there isn’t any “pure horror” atmosphere to speak of… but I still enjoyed it a lot. In short, a genre break that should not offend anyone. The protagonist (a young Furlong) is likeable and so is the antagonist, the Trickster (thought it could have been nastier, it’s a funny clown :D).
