    'Lola' is the entirely self-sufficient, computerized security system for the Sandawn corporation. When Lola is left in charge of the building for one night, she decides the late-working employees and their acquaintances would make an excellent source of energy for her systems to function on. Seeking out the 'heat sources', the remaining people trapped in the building must find a way to shut down Lola before the morning.

Canadian TV movies from 1985 seem to be the equivalent of mind-poison. This low-budget loser has nothing to offer whatsoever, nothing of note happens for the first 27 minutes yet the film hammers home foundational exposition twice in that time. There are no scares, thrills, chills, nothing. The best I can say is it ended eventually, but even that felt about 30 minutes too late. There was a whole sub-plot just to set up a sequel that nobody could have believed would happen.

A "high tech" computerized building is left on autopilot and decides it needs to eat people for their energy. They try to escape, there's standard disaster interpersonal drama, and then they try to turn it off.
