I just noticed this pop up on sale in my VUDU wishlist today. I've never see the price below $4.99. This isn't UV compatible therefore will not port to other services. It's also not available for Disc to Digital.
I had this on laserdisc in the 90's, picked it up somewhere on the cheap. It's not a terrible movie, but it's not great either. The VR CGI was pretty bad ass in 1992, but now... oh man. Roll a fat one and have a good time laughing at how silly it all is.
The movie really had nothing to do with Stephen King's story. But not the first movie I've seen that used a book title and threw away 99% of the source material.
It's hard to recommend this as a buy, even for $4

This seems like it's ripe for a remake.
Remake? Please, no. But there was a sequel. And it was so bad that Fahey didn't show up for it, but Max Headroom did. (Damn I had no idea how much Matt Frewer worked until I saw his IMDB page. That dude is a workaholic)
Haha this movie was such shit. But the CGI stuff was pretty fun at the time. I remember it kinda scaring me as a kid. It's like Flowers for Algernon more than Stephen King.

Lawnmower Man: A movie so bad and so far afield of the original story that Stephen King sued to have his name removed.

I definitely think it could use a reboot/remake, the premise was pretty interesting.
