Audience Member Serial killer is brought back to life from the gas chamber to hunt down all involved in his conviction and sentence in this far-fetched story. Mostly a derivative of other serial killer films; clearly Director Mark Lester's best days are past. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing special...good Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Par le realisateur de COMMANDO nous vient un fable anti-militariste en forme de film de kung-fu invasion spatial. Les acteurs sont bons et ca m'a inspire a tourner LE DERNIER BATAILLON. Film de guerre triste et puissant. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
