Average viewer score of 5.5/10 from 176 ratings.
**Score: 7/10 — A Cheesy, Entertaining B-Movie Elevated by a Killer Score** You can feel the John Carpenter influence in this one, which makes it a damn pity he didn't direct it. It would have been a much slicker movie. The story is simple, the production is nothing fancy, and the dialogue is hella cheesy. The acting is surprisingly bad in places, though it's hard to blame the cast when there's only so much you can…
