Trivia
The movie has a tie-in comic book adaptation of the same name that got released in 1993 under the one-off "Sci-Fi Comix" brand. There are some slight differences between some story elements in the comic and in the movie as if the comic was based on an earlier draft of the film's script. For instance, the doctor in the comic is evil and wants to control the minds of his patients, while the psychiatrist in the film is actually rather benevolent and well-intentioned. The comic is briefly shown in the 'making of' featurette found among the bonus material on the DVD release of the movie.

Quotes
Jenny Porter: My mind turned Sparky into a pack of wolves?

Alternate versions
Original R-rated theatrical release runs 93 minutes; unrated video version adds 4 minutes of gore footage.

Connections
Edited from The Roommate (1989)

Future Schlock

FUTURE SHOCK is complete garbage although it definitely had potential. Certain scenes are great but I was turned off by the whole virtual reality thing and by some of the incredibly bad acting. The actor that played Dr. Langdon looked like the late actor Michael Landon and I thought that the character name was actually Dr. Landon. Coincidentily, Michael Landon died in Malibu, California where some of this movie was made. The best actor in this sad film had to be James Karen who gave yet another hillarious performance as Kefka, the mute boss. Overall, not BAD BAD, but not as good as it could've been. I strongly believe that it was the whole virtual reality thing that sunk FUTURE SHOCK into future schlock-**1/2out of****.
