CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

videorama-759-859391 The Vampires are certainly an underrated gang, you don't want to mess with. ET is one of those 87 treasures, you never get sick of watching because of how entertaining and guiltily engrossing it is. The premise is fresh. One guy is in wrong place at wrong time, well wrong time, all the time. He shouldn't of been there. Frank, great to see in the lead is an insurance salesman, who has to make one last call, regrettably in the projects. We know when he gets back to his car, it isn't gonna be the same as how he left it. The catalyst here was that Frank tapped a black kid gangster on the shoulder to ask him where his client was. This is enough to bring down the hell that ensues, where shortly after, on Frank's exit, the black kid is shot, and the rest of the gang that control these tenements want blood. It's a frightening situation and atmosphere, which has you asking many times before, "How could you live here?" Frank nicknamed The Ghost by the gang, becomes trapped in the building. burning with hate. Bring on Ray Parker Jnr- The Blood Traitor as named by our Vamps, in not a half bad performance, who teams up with Frank, not the best fighting duo, one must admit. These two are the only hope of getting out alive. Jan Michael Vincent really stuck out here as a crippled resentful vet (aren't they all), another suffering tenant, ready and armed, with mettle, who hasn't given up the fight. Enemy Territory really works where in the space of it's 85 minutes, we undermine the terrifying ambiance the movie projects. To carry a movie, only riding on this premise successfully for this duration, and make it continually exciting is impressive. ET is infectiously entertaining, a nifty, cute and cool little movie, gangland style. Track it down if you haven't seen it, if also watching for Ray Parker Jnr's only performance.

trashgang I found this flick at a convention for less than 1 euro on "The Company Motion Pictures" label. The bar-code started with 87 so I knew it was a Dutch label. They brought out some hard to get titles on DVD but they were just some VHS rips with unremovable subs of course. Nevertheless, I have seen this DVD going up to 30£ on ebay. The other strange part of this movie is that it was made by a director, Peter Manoogian, not well known but he was second unit director on a lot of horror flicks (The Slayer and Galaxy Of Terror) so he surely know his stuff. Another strange thing is that this is still OOP but contain some actors that had fame in 1987. Ray Parker Jr. was known for Ghostbusters (1984), Gary Frank for a lot of roles in series of the 80's, Jan-Michael Vincent for his lead role in the Airwolf series (1984) and Tony Todd is notable here in one of his first roles just before breaking through as a horror icon best known for The Candyman (1992) franchise. The flick itself never bored me, you just keep watching how they will survive the attack of the Vampire gang. It's also especially worth looking at in the beginning for the atmosphere of NY. I was there around that time and saw 42nd at the end of its glory, I even stayed at a hotel just between the grindhouses. Years later (90's) I went back, everything was gone. Anyway, it's low budget, look at the storyline, look at shadows from crew, look after 5 minutes into the film and see the microphone appearing in-camera. It happens a few times, the location is for almost 85 minutes the same, so it surely get's that drive-in feeling. It doesn't look like a flick from the end of the 80's. The effects are cheap, it's normal that it didn't got a proper release but still, worth watching for exploitation, grindhouse fans, if you can find it...

robespierre9 Just bought this on video to see Jan Michael Vincent's part. What a fun movie this was! Urban decay as literal nightmare - huge ghetto apartment, graffiti everywhere, people out to kill you, gangs running rampant - this movie has it all! It captures 'scary' New York very well. I guess you might call it soft-core Blax-sploitation. The music is 80's, but the sheer adrenaline this movie creates still registers today. Jan Michael Vincent has one of the best cameos you will ever see in a movie! He plays 'Parker', a whacked out, bubba-Vietnam vet in a wheelchair (still handsome, but crazed!) who tries to help a remarkably decent-acting Ray Parker Jr. (Yes, the very same Ghostbusters singer in his first acting role) and his white companion. JMV gives an electrifying performance! One wishes he could have had more screen time - but it's well worth seeing his brilliant 10 minutes! Tony Todd (yes, the "Candyman" himself!) is also great as the "Vampire" gang leader in this.

legend316 I saw this movie a looooooooooooong time ago. At that time I didn't like it. But I decided to try it again to see whether I like it better now. I think that when you re-watch a movie after a few years the possibility is there that you will like it even more or hate it even more. The more movies you watch the more you broaden your horizon and the more your opinion on movies changes. Well, after re-watching this movie my conclusion was "Oh my god, this is great stuff". And it is. It's very 80ies and has a lot of suspense. You are into it very fast and then it's a long ride till the end. Just awesome.
