directed by C. Courtney Joyner
USA 1994
Just out of prison after a
three year stint, wrongly-convicted John Martense (Blake
Bailey, HEAD OF THE FAMILY) learns about his
"inheritance" - a cache of stolen money buried in the
cemetery of the remote town Lefferts Corners - from his
father's partner-in-crime-turned-mortician Skelton
Knaggs (Vincent Schiavelli,
FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH). John does not
realize is that the money's "rightful owner" gangster
Bennett (Jon Finch,
FRENZY) - along with his Judo-kicking gun moll
Ms. Marlowe (Alison Mackie, SLIVER) and hulking
enforcer Pierce (Joseph Leavengood, BASKET CASE II)
- is also after the loot, and the four wander into a war
zone. Over the past twenty years, the denizens of
Lefferts Corners have fallen prey to carnivorous beings
lurking in the tunnels beneath the town. The few
remaining - including ballistics expert Cathryn (HELLRAISER's
Ashley Laurence, strangely billed as "Ashley Lauren")
who lost her sister, drunken Dr. Haggis (RE-ANIMATOR's
Jeffrey Combs), martyr-hopeful Father Poole (Paul Mantee,
DAY OF THE ANIMALS), and a few fearful locals -
have rigged the graveyard with explosives and plan to
mount a final battle against the creatures in the church
on Christmas Day. The race for riches soon becomes a
fight for survival, and John may be the last to discover
his dark connection to the town. |

Comments |
88 Films' single-layer disc's transfer is derived from an aged video master that adequately renders the film's low-key lighting design but with only fair detail. The Dolby Digital 2.0 rendering of the original Dolby Surround mix is appropriately atmospheric and forceful when it comes to the jolts and pyrotechnics. A seven minute making-of featurette looks at the effects, stunt work, and the experience of shooting on location in Romania. Also included is a teaser trailer and an 88 Films Trailer Park featuring trailers for THE CORPSE GRINDERS, TWO MOON JUNCTION, BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE-DEVILS, HIDEOUS!, GIRL IN GOLD BOOTS, ROBOT WARS, DOLLMAN, THE DOLL SQUAD, CASTLE FREAK, and SLICE AND DICE. |
