Game designer Allegra Geller barely misses getting offed during a demonstration of her latest creation, "eXistenZ,'' when an assassin slips past the metal detectors at the door with a "gristle gun" made of bones and gristle.

Unfortunately, her VR gaming device, a strange fleshy pod with nipples and an umbilical cord, appears to have caught a disease, potentially ruining the only complete copy of the game.
