Even though I run a media site, I am a computer geek at heart. I am also a sucker for space horror films. “Debug” looked like it had some potential, especially being from the producer of “Splice” and “Haunter” but is poorly executed. The cast is impressive starring Adam Butcher (“Wolves”), Jeananne Goossen (“The Vow”), Adrian Holmes (“Elysium”) and Jason Momoa (“Game of Thrones”). Momoa is always great but seems a bit out of place in this one. The story is also not groundbreaking and doesn’t deliver anything new to the genre, so this one falls into the file and forget category for me.
Official Premise: In this tale of deep space cyberhorror, six young computer hackers are sent to work on a derelict space freighter as a part of a work release program. They quickly fall prey to the ship’s vengeful artificial intelligence, a program that would kill to be human. They are helpless to defend themselves as it silently roots out their deepest desires to use against them in the most imaginative and horrific ways. It takes a very determined and brilliant hacker, Kaida (Goossen), to battle this malevolent entity and send it back to cyber hell.
