Raindancer Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Okay i have not seen this film in years. I remember it from when i was just starting school, This film is on par wit the Warriors. An insurance salesman inadvertently gets trapped after dark in an apartment building that is terrorized by a street gang called "The Vampires." New York has never looked so good! This is a gritty thriller set in a tower block, where an unfortunate insurance salesman finds himself trapped on the top floor in a building controlled by the local gang called the Vampires. The Vampires are out for blood after the salesman unwittingly insults one of the gangs younger members on his way to sign a deal which should earn him a nice commission. Luckily he gets some help along the way by none other than Ray Parker Junior, and together with some friendlier residents of the block, they try to escape certain death. Quite a tense movie with a cool soundtrack and a nice score. But the best thing is Tony Todd (pre - Candyman) as the demented evil leader of the Vampires and his sidekick - Psycho! I own a copy of this on VHS Pal and think it,s well worth watching This film is a must see. I remember thinking to myself will he ever get out? and what would i do if i was caught in that situation.

Big Slow Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I came in ready to discuss this, when I realized I was thinking of Enemy Mine, with Lou Gosset Jr. I guess I'll have to watch this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O Daesu Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I remember Enemy Territory (a bit). I must've been really young when I saw that. I also remember liking it quite a bit. Definitely had that gritty Warriors style.... erm grit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
