Don't bother!

"Dark Tower" is a "Poltergeist" rip-off about a dark spirit, ghost, or whatever you want to call it taking over a skyscraper. The "ghost" starts off by killing people in the building such as the window washer and that is when cop Micheal Moriarty is called to the case. Michael Moriarty is a good actor, too bad he has to act in garbage like this! Even worse than Moriary's other bad horror films such as "A Return to Salem's Lot" and "It's Alive III: Island of the Alive". Just a word of advice, AVOID IT!
