Viewing Notes
I watched this movie with my family several times growing up and I’ve now seen it on the big screen twice. It’s always a pleasure.
FBI agent Kyle MacLachlan, sporting unusually rosy lips, teams up with local LA law enforcement to track a serial killer that appears to switch bodies. The serial killer’s only goal is to eat, drink, listen to loud music, drive fast cars and kill. All the things any red-blooded American loves to do other than the killing part.
It’s an explosive and truly reckless good time, a near-perfect blend of sci-fi horror and action and, like most all of Jack Sholder’s best movies, stupidly underappreciated.
The ending still icks me out, though.
