Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe sound effect used when the socket prongs are released from the user's arms is actually a pudding can being opened.
- GoofsWhen Bill is breaking up with Murphy, it can be clearly seen that Murphy's arms show no signs of either the surgery scars or the socket prong holes that were previously given to him.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Dr. Emily Andersen: For some reason you were left with no burn marks; however, the current used your hands and feet as its escape route, so you'll probably have nerve damage in all four extremities.
Bill Matthews: Permanent?
Dr. Emily Andersen: Not necessarily, but you should prepare yourself for the very real possibility that you won't be returning to surgery.

Shot in nine days on a handful of sets with a video camera, "Socket" succeeds in enough aspects to recommend it. The small cast is good all around, with their characters' homosexuality never coming off as a gimmick. Sean Abley owes a lot to David Cronenberg, but it is refreshing to see a horror fan's affection in the finished product, and not using my favorite genre as a simplistic stepping stone to something bigger and better. Jennifer Kes Remington's music is excellent, my kind of stuff. The screenplay feels rushed, leaving a lot of territory unexplored. The use of flashy editing in lieu of expensive effects often works, and the makeup is good, but eventually the padding wore thin. Finally- this is the worst hospital set in the history of hospital sets. I liked "Socket," and it proves to be a passable little film. Abley and his road company can only improve.
