Viewing Notes
A pretty decent horror film with an interesting premise. Both the director and lead actor in this are/were known for their TV work more than feature films. Lipscomb’s George Miller is such an odd-looking and sincere character that you can’t help but sympathize with him as he seemingly undergoes a transformation into a possessed killer after recovering from his near death experience while attempting suicide.
I really liked Suzanne Snyder as the hooker with a soft spot, Angel. turns out she’s a native of Park Ridge, IL!
Completely forgot I’d watched this last year as part of Telluride Horror Show.
