A dastardly grim and thoroughly compelling tale of subterfuge gone horribly wrong for our protagonist, played to the hilt by Laurence Harvey.

A better watch the second time around. Cloris Leachman and Broderick Crawford make for a crude but deliciously evil tag team.

This one makes a lot of best-of lists as far as NG goes but I thought it was a bit slower-paced and overwrought, although I'm still on the fence....

It's like they took the plot of the Night Stalker, condensed it for an hour time slot, and replaced "vampire" with "ripper". Not that I mind one bit....

80s hair metal drew a huge inspiration from this MTV megasmash of an album which had all of the rough edges smoothed away by the expert control of Mutt Lange. Don't let the pyro on the cover fool you. Everything here would be heard/imitated by legions of frizzy-haired guys in leather 'n' lace into the 90s, in search of a fast buck.
