English More and more I'm beginning to realize that after Re-Animator Stuart Gordon hasn't made anything to match his first film. They're not bad movies, but they're not as memorable. This film has good moments, but overall I found it so ordinary that I just can't rate it higher than 60%. ()

English This almost forgotten film by Gordon was a pleasant surprise. The beginning drags a lot, but when the monster is unleashed and begins its rampage, there’s hardly anything to complain about. The protagonist (not Combs) looks great and the gore is surprisingly good and detailed for the 90s. The script isn’t the best, actually, it’s just silly and clichéd, but the execution brings it up. You can even feel afraid! 7/10 ()
