A maniacal murderer is stalking New York City cops in this urban crime thriller. Jack Forrest (Bruce Campbell) is suspected of being the killer until Lieutenant McCrae (Tom Atkins) is found dead. Jack takes over the case after McCrae's death with help from undercover cop and sweetheart Theresa (Laurene Landon). Commissioner Pike (Richard Roundtree) is under fire to solve the case as more men in blue meet their maker much too soon. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

| armed with a script from larry cohen and a sturdy cast of "b" movie stars, director william lustig turns in a thoughtful and gory (a combo you don't see enough of) mash-up of the urban detective drama and slasher flick. the big points of interest lie in the killer targeting "normal" members of society and--- spoiler ahead--- being a hero cop, as opposed to an outsider. apply robin wood's return of the repressed theories on horror movies to this and you'll have some fun. if you don't really give a shit about robin wood's theories, this is still a well made movie with good action, violence, thrills, and a sam raimi cameo. Lustig went on to work for anchor bay then to start blue underground, which is like the criterion collection for cult and grindhouse movies. recommended! |
