Viewing Notes

I believe I’ve only see bits of this when it was on cable or HBO back in the mid-90s during my road warrior days. In fact I actually remember the final shot.

Overall this would be pretty good if it didn’t gloss over obvious stuff that only occurs in this movie to keep the plot moving. It’s like evidence doesn’t matter here. Also Nick is a real dummy for not doing something sooner to prevent most of what happens.

Still an entertaining watch and another one that would’ve been cool to see during one of the horror marathons in Chicago. Weird they used a guy stunt double when Adrian is whacking the shit outta Nick in the finale.
