Better Late Then Never

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

To quickly describe this I would call it some strange b-grade horror movie, the ones that I find funnier than scarier. As I always say about horror movies, is that what I find scary are things that could really happen, and I find them more disturbing than scary. Movies like Misery, the Net, and even Very Bad Things, are more horrifying than this. Even though what happened in this movie is theoretically possible, it does not leave the images that a movie like Very Bad Things does.This movie is about a futuristic building that is run and protected by a very sophisticated computer. The problem is that the computer is so rigid that is there is one thing wrong then it construes it as its programs would do. If you park in the wrong place, or don't look after your keycard, then the computer will construe you as an intruder.This movie seems to have been created by a cookie cutter. It has a nasty unbeatable opponent, a pretty girl, a daring man, and people dying horrible deaths. Other than that the only real moral of this movie is that you shouldn't rely on computers because they can be unpredictable in the most predictable ways. It was an okay movie, but really doesn't do all that much.

The Tower 1993 movie is definitely a very flawed but yet enjoyable SCI-FI fantasy horror film.New worker Tony Minot (played by Paul Reiser) messes his key card by using the old jimmy the lock open trick after locking himself out of his apartment (back then they seemed to issue the key cards before your first day of work).It's not quite clear what Tony's new exact job is, but he isn't the model worker. He seems to eat unhealthy (cold pizza for breakfast), goof off (play paper ball slide on vent ducts), failed to watch the orientation videos (they were boring), and tampers with the equipment which gets the security system really upset.Littlehill the boss (Roger Rees) is definitely a no non-sense guy stickler. But then again he gives Tony a huge assignment just before quitting time that day; despite the fact that Tony has a date. I mean come on, it's his first day; and then of all things Littlehill goes into his own personal sauna (a sauna at work??).But that's just the least of Tony's worries as the security system goes on night mode and turns very brutal starting to execute the employees; thinking they're Tony.Tony eventually makes it out but then his co-worker (Linda played by Susan Norman) steps in and he has to rescue her and go back through the horror fun house for round two.This film is like that X-Files episode "Ghost in the Machine" plugging into DIE HARD.While the film is set on 8/1/1992 (which is actually a Saturday), the music and sounds make it seem more like 1987 or 1988.This is just yet another underrated TV movie. The whole film seems unintentionally funny.I would definitely see the film if it sounds interesting.

OK, so the plot stinks, the acting is so dead that it has begun to decompose and the effects are just plain poor. But when you look past these (minor) downfalls, this movie is kinda cool. I mean a building that goes evil and begins to waste its unsuspecting occupants all because of some incompetent clown that couldn't do his job properly? What more could you ask for.The movie is filled with some semi-cool kill scenes, such as the guy that gets minced in the elevator doors, and it features some pretty good one-liners and slapstick deaths.Sure the film isn't your pick if you want a film with a coherent plot and passionate characterisation, but as opposed to your standard telemovie its pretty great. Given I was 9 when i first saw it, I think this film is a pretty good alternative to days of our lives or oprah or whatever else may be on the tube when this one airs. Stop bagging this film.

You should wait nothing deep from this movie, and nothing is what it delivers. There are times though where you're looking for just a pass-time and it's quite good at this. In fact I found it rather pleasant, as the directing is adequate and the acting not too pompous. The main idea could produce a very good thriller, but as another reviewer noted Stanley Kubrick has already taken care of this.
