 
A
Corporate exec named Miles Creighton
(Michael Beck) dies and is cyrogenically
frozen as his mother Marion (Beatrice
Straight) hopes that one day he will be
revived.
10
years later the procedure is a success.
After a brief coma, Miles awakens but the
nurse at the hospital notices that his
eyes don't look the same.
Also, when he returns home at his mansion
his own dog turns on him.
Even if Miles was revived his soul didn't
come with him which causes him to be evil
when he is back in business causing to
kill as he killed his dog when it tried
to attack him at night.
His
mother doesn't want to believe that he is
not the same person as he used to be but
when Miles runs over a Reverend friend of
hers which sends him to a hospital she
feels endangered by her son.
At first the film
seems like it would lack but it really
gets going.
A very spooky and weird film which may
disturb certain individuals.
Clever and well done but evil.
It was also made on a very low budget
like 5 Dead On the Crimson Canvas
or Monster Dog.
Due to the low
budget the acting at first looked rusty
but everyone did an amazing job in it.
Michael Beck is believeably
intimidating and I always found that he
resembled between these two b-film cult
icon's Joe Dallesandro and Robert
Dryer.
Beatrice Straight also is great
as the emotional mother and brings alot
of character in the film.
I couldn't forget young teenage Laura
Johnson who is also terrific in it
and gives the film a plus. I also enjoyed
her performance in The Stepfather.
There's a
noticeable slit throat and some blood but
nothing too gory.
Chucky's face is half slashed and then
some other bloody results afterwards
It is unusual for Wes
Craven to direct a film very low
budget like this but he really spices it
up and knows how to deliver a scare.
He was great with the direction on having
Michael Beck's character awaken with
those creepy eyes as well as making him
scary throughout the film.
I couldn't see anyone else doing
something as great except for maybe Tobe
Hooper.
The music by Dana
Kaproff was at times having some
nice touches and at times lacking.
