Featured review
Jeff Kober ... doing his thing as is Lou Diamond Phillps. Funnily enough I had never seen this and it looks and feels like a movie I would have cherished in the late 90s - video store glory days and all that.
It seem to be infamous enough (to get a release by 88 Films and being talked about a lot too), but hey: better late than never, right? So this is as out there as it gets and the movie really needs you to suspend your disbelief. You may need as much time as Lou Diamonds character needs in this movie ... it may still not be enough to wrap your head around it though.
This is flawed and has not aged gracefully. Still it can be campy 80s/90s throwback fun, if you let it. Not much in the story department, apart from that idea of ... supernatural madness.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMovie originally had different ending which instead in sewers took place in some warehouse and was lot less action packed. Following the successful test screening producers gave the filmmakers some money and short amount of time to film the new, more exciting ending and to add sequel bait last shot because they already planned to do sequels. Not much is know about original ending or if it still exists, but there are many stills showing parts of it.
