Adrian Lyne directs Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Peña and Danny Aiello in this mind bending classic horror where a Vietnam veteran begins to see flashes of a demonic underworld in the shadows and alleyways of New York.
Full throttle disturbing. If there isn’t an elliptical nightmare shot momentarily glimpsed here that doesn’t chill you to your bone then maybe you are the devil. Elizabeth Peña = hot. A wonderful whispery shouty performance by Danny Aiello. Bonkers conspiracy narrative. Lyne’s masterpiece and up there with Fire Walk With Me and Se7en as one of the most scarring American horror flicks of the Nineties. If only he made another horror?
