Interested in seeing this movie.

Lost mucha pasta (48M cost, 25M box office receipts).

Why then, is the damned thing not free (even Amazon Prime is looking to charge 4 bucks for it)?

Is there some type of resurgence concerning the movie?

Was it unjustly the recipient of poor reviews at the time?

I didn’t know it lost a lot of money. Probably wasn’t marketed well. It’s very good, imo. Interesting concept.

It's a solid flick. It was streaming on Starz over the summer.

Not too bad of a movie. I didn't like the ending, though. Didn't make any sense from a theology standpoint. (Won't spoil it)

Great movie. Really underrated in the rest of Denzel's filmography and just as a horror/serial killer movie in general.

Good movie, but it was almost a direct rip off of The First Power.

Elias Koteas is one of the most underappreciated actors ever and it was fun seeing John Goodman and James Gandolfini on screen together

I mean none of it makes sense from a theological standpoint, but that is Hollywood for you. Great flick though, Goodman, Koteas, and Denzel all were great.

This and Ricochet are Denzel's two most underrated films I think.

I’d forgotten about this movie. I remember enjoying it in the theaters, but haven’t seen it since.

Also the same premise as Friday the 13th: Jason Goes to Hell

Or what about the prior year's " Shocker"?

I mean, when the theology in and of itself makes no sense.....
