A doctor assists a dying man in an obvious state of hallucination and relives his last shocking experiences. From that day on, she is pursued by a group of punks who are nothing but wandering evil spirits. The only chance of salvation seems to be escape... Praised (and overrated) by the "cultured" critics, this little-known horror film by John McTiernan ("Die Hard"; "Predator") can certainly boast a decent cast, including "James Bond" Pierce Brosnan and the talented Anne Down, and a definitely original story. The flaws are not lacking, starting with the various "dead spots" in the film; but what is least convincing is the choice to depict the "nomadic" cursed souls as a group of wild dark motorcyclists, losing the story's atmosphere and suspense.
