Revealing mistake: The dead cop can be clearly seen sitting up even though he's dead as the lady cop tosses the chair through a window. The next shot he's back to being dead again. (01:16:00 - 01:17:15)

9.5/10. A darn good movie dreamed up by Larry Cohen. A well paced horror movie of the late 80's. Bruce Campbell, Laurene Landon, Tom Atkins all do great. Robert Z'Dar's also great as Matt Cordell aka The Maniac Cop. I would say this is a great movie for any Friday/Saturday night movie viewing or marathon. If you're into Larry Cohen's movies then watch this one.
Frank McCrae: Whole city's goin' to hell. You can't take a pee anywhere anymore.
Trivia: Bruce Campbell reportedly only took the job working on this film for the paycheck, and he isn't very keen on the finished product despite it being a cult-classic and warmly received by the horror community.
