August 31, 1984

A rash of bizarre murders in New York City seems to point to a group of grotesquely deformed vagrants living in the sewers. A courageous policeman, a photojournalist and his girlfriend, and a nutty bum, who seems to know a lot about the creatures, band together to try and determine what the creatures are and how to stop them.

โ€ข
A series of mysterious disappearances throws the inhabitants of a city into panic. The police officer in charge of the investigations, with the help of a photographer and a man who runs a soup kitchen for the poor, understands that in the city's sewers hide some beings, the result of a genetic mutation, who attack and devour all those who cross their path. Classic mediocre fantasy-horror, one of the many rental films that are not memorable either from a negative or positive point of view. Despite having no censorship vetoes (it is labeled as "film for all"), it gives us some semi-splatter sequences (severed heads, mutilated bodies); also notable is the brief appearance, at the end of the film, of a not yet famous John Goodman.
