When a notorious serial killer is strapped into the electric chair and blasted with 10,000 volts, the invigorating jolt merely heightens his already insatiable bloodlust in this gruesome, hospital-bound shocker featuring horror icon Robert Englund. Chambers (James Binkley) has inflicted some of the most horrific atrocities ever documented on his fellow man, and now it's Sheriff Berger (Englund)'s job to ensure that Chambers never again has the opportunity to torment and terrorize society. It was supposed to be a routine execution, and neither Sheriff Berger nor the doomed patients of the hospital where Chamber's charred corpse was taken could have foreseen the horror that awaited them. When Chambers escapes from the morgue and sets out on a bloody rampage in the locked-down hospital, it's up to Sheriff Berger, petrified patients Sara Wexler (Meredith Henderson) and Walter (Nathan Stephenson), and the brave Nurse Grafton (Laura DeCarteret) to put a permanent end to Chamber's brutal reign of bloodshed. A deadly dose of electricity has transformed Chambers into much more than your average madman, though, and with each new victim his supernatural abilities only seem to grow. After dispatching with Sheriff Berger, it becomes increasingly obvious that the killer shares an unholy bond with hospital patient Sara. Now, with time running out and no place to run, Sara and Walter must learn to defeat an otherworldly evil before it grows too powerful to destroy.
