______


George Segal plays a computer scientist who suffers brain damage in an accident and develops a form of epilepsy that causes fits of rage.

Joan Hackett is part of a surgical team which hopes to cure Segal by implanting a micro-computer in his brain. Something goes haywire in Segal's head and he becomes suicidal after escaping from the hospital. The climax is a strange scene in a graveyard.

Director Mike Hodges (who also did the 1980 version of "Flash Gordon") wrote the screenplay, based on Michael Crichton's novel. The pacing is too slow for the fright show this was intended to be.

The trailer below strikes me as very ineffective at generating interest in the movie. It's very slow paced and doesn't provide much info about the story.

If you're curious about the movie anyway, YouTube has it, but the picture is pretty bad.
