After defending an abused woman, a journalist is attacked at her home by a psychotic misogynist. After being saved, the journalist is rushed to the hospital. Little does she know that the psycho has decided to finish the job.
I thought this would be a low rent job, done to ride the coattails of Halloween 2, but it actually stands on it's own two legs. The characters have a bit of detail to them. Michael Ironside is freakin brilliant as the baddie. Every movement he makes has this aura of menace to it. From playing with his stress ball to giving subtle glances to the city girl. All pure Menace.
Another cool thing about the movie is the Canadian feel of the movie. Yes it was distributed by Fox, but the colors are more brighter then usual. The scenes are set up differently as well. I don't know. There's a Canadian..."Presence" to it.
There are some holes in the movie. Areas that are supposed to be populated aren't, some people can't put two and two together, some situations that aren't supposed to happen, happen. I think people can overlook all these holes because the plot is so solid.
I think this is defiantly a buy purchase. Will go great with your collection and is defiantly one to pull out once in a while to enjoy.
Three and a half stars.
