Entertaining enough but I found the violence perpetrated by the killer to be a bit implausible and excessive.
Absolute classic - Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell are exceptional. A remake was made...of course... but not a patch on this original.
classic! rutger is a legend!
I found this difficult to take seriously. Because the film goes for a more "realistic" scenario (in the sense that it's based on a killer and is not relying on demons, aliens, etc), it makes the far-fetched situations that occur seem even more silly.
Something about those 80’s instrument sounds, I watch this to sleep lol
