Ghost in the Machine is a 1993 American science fiction horror film directed by Rachel Talalay and released by 20th Century Fox about a deceased serial killer with artificial computer intelligence.

Now, as a network-based entity, Karl continues to plot his killing spree using various objects connected to the electrical grid and computer networks.

The police then receive anonymous reports of an armed robbery, a hostage situation, domestic violence, and a murder in progress, all at Terry's house.

They activate an atom smasher located in the laboratory, which draws Karl in and destroys him with its extremely powerful magnetic field.

As the film ends, Bram tells Terry to turn off a heart rate monitor in an ambulance, causing the screen to fade to black.
