Imagine if your Quake game started spewing out monsters in the real world who would like nothing more than to kick your ashes all over the floor.
In a bleak future (is there any other kind in sci-fi?) humanity escapes from encroaching eco-doom in a game called the Afterlife. The inventor of the game finds a way to bridge the gulf between the virtual game world and the real world, but is brutally murdered soon after. A dreamcop (responsible for making sure everyone plays this game) investigates and discovers that the bridge is turning into a floodgate for all the evil existing as opponents in the game to flood into reality.
Sounds crappy, but this is a lot better than you would think. Michael Pare is an average actor who has a real talent for picking unusually interesting scripts: "Streets of Fire", "Moon 44", etc. Check this one out if you get a chance.
