Medan man tittat på en reklamfilm för "Transcendence" påminde den mig om en sen 80-talsfilm som jag såg.
Det handlar om en fånge som dödades i elstolen, och efter att han hade utförts kunde hans anda resa genom ledningarna och döda människor.
Skulle det vara Wes Cravens " Shocker " (1989)?
Relevant info från Wikipedia:
Pinker is quickly convicted and sentenced to die in the electric chair. [...] But what they do not realize is that Pinker has made a "deal with the devil". When he is executed, he does not actually die but instead becomes pure electricity, and is able to possess others (it is unknown if the possessed hosts live or die after Pinker leaves their body since some of them were shown to be lying motionless after being released) to continue his murderous ways.
Kan filmen bara kallas Fängelse från 1987? En kille är electrocuted och år senare kommer han tillbaka för att hemsöka den nya warden som dödar alla i sikte.
In 1964, inmate Charlie Forsythe swallowed 60,000 volts of electricity for a murder he did not commit.
When Creedmore Prison is reopened after thirty years, it has not been standing empty. Charlie Forsythe is back – still charged with electric heat. Waiting for Eaton Sharpe (Lane Smith) – the man who stood by as Forsythe rode the electric chair.
Forsythe quickly makes up for lost time as his vengeance rises to a fever pitch of violent fury. Burke (Viggo Mortensen) and the other inmates soon realize that they will all be slaughtered unless Forsythe is allowed to repay his long-standing debt. With the lives of Creedmore in the balance, Sharpe and Forsythe are finally brought face-to-rotting-face in a duel that will pit Forsythe's supernatural rage against Sharpe's bloodthirsty instinct for survival.
Den heter The Horror Show (1989).
