Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile in production, cowriter/director Tom Holland was stricken with Bell's Palsy, a virus that paralyzed one side of his face. The effects could have been minimized had he gotten a steroid shot immediately, but the producers insisted he keep working, so it was 36 hours before he got to a doctor. It took more than a year and a half for him to fully recover.
- GoofsWhen Billy (Robert John Burke) hits Suzanne Lempke (Irma St. Paule) in the car, she hits the windscreen and leaves no blood on it, but in the next shot, there is blood all over it.
- Quotes
Tadzu Lempke: [to a pleading Billy] Justice, ain't about bringing back the dead, white man. Justice, is about justice. Your friend the policeman, your friend the judge, they make sure nothing happen to you. They keep you safe. But I make sure something happen to them. That justice, white man. Gypsy justice!

Featured review
...for a King work: they've always had a mixed track record. Generally this one is a tribute to the F/X wizardry as Robert John Burke goes through multiple transformations. That in itself is pretty horrifying. Most of the King subtleties have been sucked out of it, but what's new? It's basically a decent supernatural thriller. There is a slow, relentless horror to the whole thing, which doesn't rely on huge "jump out of the closet" shocks (although there are a few of those). Basically a horror movie for adults.
