A skeleton crew of cops working in a police station that's on the verge of closing find themselves being terrorized by an ancient lethal demon (a superbly creepy and understated performance by noted genre icon Robert Englund). Director Glenn Ciano, working from a compact script by Carl V. Dupree, relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, makes the most out of the dark claustrophobic central location, delivers plenty of nasty graphic gore, and does a solid job of creating a spooky atmosphere as well as building a good deal of tension. The sound acting by the able cast holds the picture together, with especially sturdy work by William Forsythe as the troubled Detective Gil Diamonte, Joey Fatone as the no-nonsense Detective Tom Caretti, Jonathan Silverman as the jumpy Officer Tech, Tom Paolino as the macho Officer Meat, and Mike Cerrone as the amiable Officer Mudge. Englund's cruel and cunning supernatural villain rates as a frighteningly sadistic piece of twisted work. Ben DeLuca's sharp cinematography provides an appropriately bleak look. Mauro Colangelo's shivery score does the spine-tingling trick. A worthwhile fright feature.
