Newly Added • 1h 34m

Directed by Abel Ferrara • 1984 • United States

Cult auteur Abel Ferrara offers a bracing plunge into the sordid neon underbelly of 1980s Times Square in this stylishly pulpy neonoir sleazefest. There’s a psychopath loose on the streets of Manhattan who is stalking and mutilating beautiful strippers employed by booking agents Matt Rossi (Tom Berenger) and Nicky Parzeno (Jack Scalia). But when the madman targets Matt’s ex-girlfriend Loretta (Melanie Griffith), he must confront his own violent past to stop the sadistic killer.
