Quotes

Beezle: People live, people die...they come down here. I have infinite levels of Hell. What you've seen is nothing, a mere kindergarten. It's so easy for me now. People have lost their willpower, their hope. They think the world is going to come to an end. Wishful thinking. The world will last a long long long long time.

User Reviews

Want to see it again.

I saw this movie a long time ago. It's hard to find. But, I remember that I liked it a lot, and would like to see it again.

Please release on DVD! So many movies these days don't stick in your mind after you see them. I saw this a long time ago, and I still remember that it was a good film.

I wish there were more films like it.

I suppose that I could buy it on VHS, but I keep waiting for it to come out on DVD.

There's really nothing more I want to say, but I guess I have to write a few more lines

So, here they are.
