From 1994, the British film Rose Red (not to be confused with the Stephen King work) is a short, running around 30+ minutes. With a small cast and presumably set in some sort of future, the movie puts forth that some large corporation has created a means of virtual reality by hardwiring peoples brains and then having them float around in an immersion tank. Yet, the process is not risk free, with someone hacking the system which then kills at least one participant. For such a short film, Rose Red was intrigue, having shades of Blade Runner's Tyrel Corporation as well as so many other films where people enter an alternative universe. Yet, it was kind of muddled and I finished with a degree of dissatisfaction. I found this was an instance where greater length would have resulted in a more coherent film.
