====== Notable Movies ======

  * **Swatting:** [[wp>Ghost In The Machine]] (1993) - Earliest example of [[wp>Swatting]] I've noticed so far. The characters unplugged all the power so an evil AI (soul in the machine thing) couldn't get to them. So the AI/evil guy told all the different police cars that there was an armed robbery/hostage situation etc at a property, then when they all arrived, it overrode an electric pylon causing a bang which made them all fire into the house.

==== Personal notable movies ====
  * **Mariticide:** Unnatural Causes - Home Cooking (1986).  This was the first movie I remember seeing (at age 4-7 or something) that featured a mariticide - at that young age I couldn't get my head around why someone would murder their husband (or wife) - it was especially memorable to me for some reason (locking the husband in a sauna, then drowing out his screams for help with food processors etc).  The episode on YouTube [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moZiEiSGx7Q|here]].  Stared Brian Cox as the husband, and Prunella Scales as the wife.  I asked on [[https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/|r/tipofmytongue]] to get the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/fz3qun/tomtmovie1980s_husband_killed_by_wife_in_sauna/|answer]] of which movie I was thinking of.
