Alone In the Dark
Directed by Jack Sholder
A secluded mental institution keeps the nearby neighborhoods safe from menaces like Frank Hawkes (Jack Palance) and "Preacher" (Martin Landau). When a sudden a power outage leaves the town in chaos, the maniacs are free to roam the streets and hunt down their new doctor, who they believe has killed off their former therapist. Jack Sholder's slasher is a gem of the early 80s, with unbelievable performances from screen legends Palance and Landau.
Escaped lunatics Jack Palance and Martin Landau invade the home of their new therapist in this 80s gem.
Cast: Jack Palance, Donald Pleasence, Martin Landau

good but very 80's
Excellent movie
Took about 30 years for me to see this film, but I finally did and it was pretty fun! Love the 'classic horror' flicks with actors of older years like Palance, Landau, Pleasance, etc. A bit of the plot twist is easy to figure out, but still, this ride is worth taking.
Silly, but worth watching to see Jack Palance, Martin Landau, and Donald Pleasence all hamming it up in the same movie.
perfect example of what made 80s slashers so damn awesome!
