Dir: Michael Mann
Weird, misfired adaptation of F. Paul Wilson's novel of the same name finds a group of unconvincing Nazis (led by a young Gabriel Byrne) stuck in a Romanian keep that was built to contain... errr... well, I'm not entirely sure, but it has glowing red eyes and wears rubber. Scott Glenn plays a random guy who treks from distant lands with intent to engage said creature in an anti-climactic staring contest. His eyes turn plaid at the end. The movie is snail-paced, full of bad 80s laser beam FX and curiously pointless. The score by Tangerine Dream might've worked well elsewhere but only serves to make the onscreen action even more surreal and unwatchable. Like the "Chariots of Fire" music on mogadon. *
