Great 90s Horror, OOP again
Metaphysically, Eric Red's horror masterpiece explores the nature of the spiritual ties between evil and the flesh along with the ethics of unrestrained advancements in medical science. But nobody really cares about that stuff. The fact that this gem was one of the most underrated horror movies of the 90s is reason enough. This film combines an incredible performance by Jeff Fahey, unsurpassed special makeup effects, an intriguing script by the writer of The Hitcher, a fast-paced plot, and a brilliant musical score. Easily one of the ten (or maybe even five) best horror genre films that the 90s had to offer.The fact that this movie has once again gone out of print on DVD just shows how out of touch these movie studios are with their customers. This movie is in desperate need of a Blu-Ray release that could really do this incredible film justice. Significant scenes that were cut from this film in order to get it an R rating, such as the severed arm scene after the crash, should really be restored in an uncut Director's edition. With a few bucks spent to market the release, I have no doubt that the studio will more than recover the costs in a market flooded with poorly executed regurgitations of great horro films from the 80s and 90s.
