A webmaster named Dez (Len Cordova) has been chatting online with his friend Toni (Brinke Stevens) and accidentally logs onto a site called www.horrorvision.com as it kills anyone who come across it in which happened to poor Toni.
One time the site got Dez in a trance and when his girlfriend Dazzy tries to help him she becomes a victim for the site as well.
Dez runs into a mysterious figure known as Bradbury (James Black) as he comes to his aid to unravel the evil mystery of this site as they track down where this site is coming from and spot a some sort of demonic type android named Manifesta (David Batholomew Greathouse) who will stop at nothing and unleashes more of these robotic creatures after them.

 

What can I say about this film? Well.... it's pointless..... hard to understand.... cheesy.... but yet it's fun little film to watch the way it is as most movies by Full Moon Pictures have something good about them.
It's a nice look at the terrors of the internet imagining if something came to life and got you which borrows alot from those other horror sci-fi flicks.
Nice cheesy monsterous robotic effects are involved with this film too attacking people.

The acting is just average in this film but however, James Black seemed to pull his part off well as a tough one trying to survive the robotic parasites from the internet.
Lead actor Len Cordova does his best by trying to bring energy and power to his role but doesn't quite succeed all too well.
Maggie Rose Fleck who plays his girlfriend seemed to have a bit of pizzaz in her role and can have good credit for her character.
We have a special appearance by Ariauna Albright who seems to pull off her role as a nasty and desperate junkie hooker not too shabbily but sometimes overly does it.
We also have another special appearance by cheesy direct-to-video scream queen Brinke Stevens during the beginning of the film who does okay for her part but like in most films that's about it.

There's is a skinless corspe in a news report on a computer.
There are some decapitations and cut off fingers on a TV screen showing a zombie film.
Some skin is stripped off of some people as well as some blood here and there but enough for this to be considered horror violence.

The directing by Danny Draven is a bit rough. and needed a bit more polishing. There are good shots on Brinke Stevens and Len Cordova talking to one another on the computer. There is also a good shot on Stevens sitting at her computer and wires from behind a wall grabbing her and tangling her. She does well by freaking out during this.
There are many good shots on Cordova and Maggie Rose Fleck as a couple caressing one another and kissing.
We spot a good shot on Cordova being hypnotised by his computer by acting silent and Fleck coming up to him asking him if everything is okay and trying to get him to snap out of it. A good effects shot on the computer effects attacking her.
We have an aggressive dialogue between Cordova and supporting actor Chuck Williams as a hotel clerk which looked corny as well as when Cordova gets physical with him which could've looked a bit better.
A good moment with Cordova walking to a rough apartment showing a nasty dispute between bit part actors Brandon Mercer and Tammi Sutton as residents there although their fighting really needed improvement.
A nice presence with Ariauna Albright sleeping on a mattress and rising up acting so out of it and demanding some money from Cordova when he tries to talk to her. It's a little too much though. Albright shows great nasty aggressions afterwards towards him especially a good shot on her calling out to him in the hallway of the building.
There's a perfect moment with all three actors Cordova, James Black andJosh Covitt in a room where there's electronical TV's etc and a good appearance by supporting actor David Bartholomew Greathouse as an evil type named Manifesto as their dialogues looked effective and great camera shots on all of them.
There's a nice shot on both Cordova and James Black driving in their car in a deserted area as well as their dialogues together but when Cordova shows anger and frusteration it isn't too convincing.
We have a great scene with Black being attacked by a cheesy effect of some sort of a monster robot in the desert with nice camera angle shots.
