Overview

A rash of bizarre murders in New York City seems to point to a group of grotesquely deformed vagrants living in the sewers. A courageous policeman, a photojournalist and his girlfriend, and a nutty bum, who seems to know a lot about the creatures, band together to try and determine what the creatures are and how to stop them.

Viewing Notes

First film of Joe Bob Briggs’ The Last Drive-In series kickoff on Shudder TV! Not my favorite film by a long shot but fun to hear him tear it down since I feel pretty ambivalent about it too.

I do like seeing stuff set in NYC during the ‘70s and ‘80s though since it was still a pretty crime-ridden, dirty city back then.
