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

Might as well stick with the eco-horror theme for a double feature and revisit this minor classic. John Heard’s character’s heart is in the right place but he’s such a dick about everything that you find yourself only grudgingly rooting for him. Not quite an anti-hero, just an asshole.
