Hackintosh is a horror movie and the first entry in The Motherboard franchise. The tagline was "The wrong command caused an error they won't forget!".

Plot synopsis

A man brainwashed and controlled by a computer lures a group of unsuspecting college kids to an abandoned resort, only to kill them brutally one by one.

Cast

  • Marcus Fleming as Sam Wilford, Betty's boyfriend and the "leader" of the group.
  • Kate Warner as Terri Hanson, Betty's friend and the first to die at the cabin.
  • Jackie Cannon as Lisa Moses, friend of the group.
  • Amy Norman as Betty Thompson, girlfriend to Sam and sole survivor of the attacks on the group.
  • Kevin Torres as the Hitchhiker, a man on the side of the road the group picks up who goes crazy after reaching the cabin.
  • Ronnie Welch as The Figure, an unknown person in the woods stalking the group.
  • Kathleen Peterson as News reporter.
  • Robert Griffin as Police Officer.
  • Levi Trevino as Warning Stranger #1, a man who tries to stop the group from going to the cabin.
  • Ramon Garza as Warning Stranger #2, a man who tries to stop the group from going to the cabin.

Trivia

  • The production of the film took 3 1/2 years to complete, almost costing Levi Trevino his life savings and his health.
  • When production began, the cast was informed the movie would be complete within 3 months. However, when budgetary issues arose, many cast members left, assuming the film was a dud, even though only a 1/3 of it had been filmed. This resulted in many of the characters' strange absences throughout the film.
  • The popular fan theory that "The Figure" was actually Terry's long forgotten Uncle, whom she mentions off-handily during the drive to the resort. It wasn't until Part 3 that the concept of "The Motherboard" was introduced and that "The Figure" was a previous IT Specialist all along.
