Is This the Film...


...in which a tween girl gets shocked to death by a doorbell? I believe it was revealed later that the computer "generated" the security camera video to shock the main character.

Sorry for the late reply, but yes it is.

Wait, what? Shocked to death?! She comes to the door and leaves! If she was shocked to death, the cops would have been there in minutes flat! Was this a deleted scene or something?!

reply

The actual answer is yes and no. Yes, we do see the little girl shocked to death, that's what Proteus shows... So, Black_Dahlia was entirely correct, even to the fact that the sequence was revealed to have been "generated" by the computer. But no, the kid wasn't actually killed.
Nifty early science fiction example of sophisticated image manipulation in that Proteus generated a fake electrocution in what appeared to be real-time closed circuit TV.

Ahh, gotcha, I remember that now. Ha, random someone came along with an answer so quickly!
