Okay, what I remember... I've seen this movie twice on TV in the '80's w/o cable, but had all NYC stations...
This research project is using these 3" wide spools of some kind of metallic tape to record subjects during various activities. The tapes can then be played back through some sort of contraption to another individual, allowing them to "experience" the subject's taped experience as their own.
The highlights of experimentation gone wrong that I remember are: 1) some older guy takes the tape of someone experiencing orgasm home with him and sets himself up in the den on a recliner in a continuous loop...they find him twitching, days later...2) the main lady researcher feels an imminent heart attack coming on while in the lab, so hooks herself up to the recorder. I don't remember if she dies or survives, I think she dies, and they have a tape of her death experience. When they discover her, someone tries to play it back, and goes into cardiac arrest. I believe the hero researcher manages to edit the tape so that cardiac arrest doesn't happen and gets to "re?"-experience the lady researcher's after-death recording.
It sounds so great! just from what I can remember! What is this movie? And why is it not readily available?
