Synopsis
Richard Dees, a cynical veteran tabloid journalist with ‘Inside View’ magazine, is given the assignment of investigating a series of killings around the country, usually at or near small airfields. Gradually Dees finds a common connection in that a mysterious small black airplane flew in and then out before and after each murder. Soon evidence leads Dees to conclude that he is dealing with a vampire that flies from location to location, claiming victims.
Critics' reviews
- "Not nearly as bad as it should be. For the most part, it's a well-made, enjoyably pulpy little genre film, albeit one that never quite overcomes the flimsiness of its source material."
- "A thuddingly blunt contemporary morality tale devoid of wit and only minimally suspenseful."
- "There's nothing hugely wrong with this picture, if you allow for the fact that it's derivative, predictable and crude."
