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. This was later expanded upon in the 2015 film Factory Reset where the character of Gus Holbrook survived his attack by Mother 1.0 and escaped the facility located 50 miles from the resort in the film.
