Although I found this movie in the horror section at the video store, it's really more of an action movie. Cop chasing a serial killer who comes back from being executed in the gas chamber. The plot doesn't make alot of sense, but there are plenty of good action scenes. One in particular is when the killer yanks down a ceiling fan and tries to kill the cop with it. How the fan motor can run without a power supply I don't know, but it looks cool.
