While it's pretty obvious that this film was done on a low budget (i.e. the same shots are repeated over and over and over) this is a pretty effective horror movie and deserves a look. The death scenes are well executed (and the end is quite chilling), the music is appropriate (it's sounds almost like an "angry swamp"), and the locations are put to good use. It's definitely a b-movie and is not at all "great cinema", but it's still a minor classic and should have some kind of cult status.

I love this movie. Not so much for its artistic value (it has none), but for its uniqueness. I've seen this movie several times and it's just fun to watch.

Forget the silly plot about "killer bunnies" and how stupid it sounds. It's bad 1972 film at its finest, and any bad 1972 film has to be worth watching.

See this movie! Demand a video (heck, DVD release)! Forget about "Art" for one night.

I can't believe that this film is not in print anymore, as is the novel it was based on. (The soundtrack was easy to find, ironically; I got it exactly a week before I saw the movie).

The story is pretty simple: Cop tries to avenge partners death, yada, yada, yada. But Richard Chance (William Petersen) is no ordinary cop, and his nemisis Rick Masters (Willem DeFoe) is no common crook.

With "French Connection" director William Friedkin at the helm, LA has never looked better on film, and the car chase is (almost) equal to the NYC El Train sequence in that movie. The acting is above par, with Petersen showing more depth in one movie then most "action heroes" show in five. And wrap it all up in Bud Smith's editing and Wang Chungs music, and you've got yourself one of the best action films ever made.

My college had an advance screening of this movie, and I must say that this film ROCKS. Not only does it have state of the art FX, but an intelligent story also. Reeves is actually good in his role, and Fishburne is great. This will no doubt attain cult status. See this movie ASAP.
