My quick rating - 4.9/10. I generally remember this one being a bit better than it was. I am sure that is the element of time, though. To be honest, for 1993, they had a pretty good idea of the issues to come with everything being online. Granted, no one has accidentally scanned a serial killer and blasted him onto the Internet, but give it time. I am sure it'll happen once digitizing people is a thing lol. Oh, and that is what this movie is about. The killer in this basically does so with no remorse, and kills down the list of someone's address book, hence being named the address book killer. And when he gets his eyes on Karen Allen, her address book becomes the next guide for him to follow. The only difference is now, instead of a car to get to the next victim, he traverses the electrical lines. All good fun with some nice setups for the kills that all culminate into a horridly stupid ending.
