C mon, would Nightmare on Elm Street had been as cool as it was without John Saxon playing Heather Langencamp s father. And he even popped up in a sequel or two. It doesn't get much cooler than that. Captain Pearson, Sergeant Royko, and Harry Caulder. Okay, okay, forget all that.
Some teenage girls bury their friend in the sand.
Suddenly she's attacked by an unseen force, which turns her legs into lunch meat. Burt Young and John Saxon are cops who have the heat on them to catch the elusive beastie before it can kill again. Regardless of the title, the emphasis on this film is suspense, not blood. The special effects are sub-par, but considering the budget of the film they're more than adequate. There's also a good balance of humour in the film, which helps make a horror movie feel more real.
