Short Synopsis: John Savage (THE DEER HUNTER) stars as a businessman who encounters a mysterious beauty, a relentless hearse and his own ultimate nightmare while driving the back roads of the desolate bayou. Sandi Schultz co-stars in this rarely seen chiller.
Review: This was the last film from Lucio Fulci and I am so glad that the guys over at Severin Films had finally released this long lost chapter to the Fulci collection. This film to me is quite different than your usual fulci film because it's not filled with gore and brutal death scenes. It's actually quite the opposite and relies more on suspense and mindgames. To me it's more like a long episode of the twilight zone (which I love) and honestly I would of loved to see more like this from Fulci. I must say it's by far not his greatest film but it still deserves a watch. I like how they used a hearse to be the thing to taunt the main charecter because it adds this very creepy feeling to the scenes in which it is shown. The only bad part to this dvd is 2 things, the first is that the movie is in fullframe and the second is that it had NO special features. Other than that it's great that this film finally has an official US dvd release! Overall this is a must for any and all Fulci fans especially those wanting to finish up their collection. I give this one a firm 8 out of 10!
