Quotes:
Dr. Alex Karmen: Mm, you know, I thought you might need some company tonight. It's safest here, really. The police are here, I'm here. We're going to have a nice, boring evening tonight. I even brought provisions: pure, unadulterated junk food. At this point who cares about chemicals? more

Just plain fantastic, 29 October 2003

Author: stefant from stockholm, Sweden

This is one of the few masterpieces, when it comes to horror movies, of course does the movie borrow elements from, Nightmare on Elm street 3, but this one is far better, music, photography, acting and effects are class A. This must be Richard Lynch´s best role ever (Oscar worthy) Andrew Flemings direction is great, watch out for the scene where Harris Yulin (Deek Peasly from How the west was won-1979) gets crushed by a car, thats as much cinematic a scene can get. Lean back and enjoy.
