The City of Angels has a sicko serial killer killing off beautiful women, prostitutes & all & whilst this is happening a beautiful, lonely & neglected well-off house wife has a steamy one-night stand with a sleezy & charming weirdo who may or may not be the sadistic serial killer?
Things get messy, there's guilt & suspense & it all looks & feels very 90's late-night Sleezy Slasher & i liked that about it as i love many B-movies & old slasher flicks, now I'm not saying this is a great film or even a particularly good film but for an easy watching late-night Thriller i didn't mind it & it's above average because we have one of my all time favourite actors in this, the great & legendary RON PERLMAN!!!! Now i know he probably took this role just for the cash because this is a low-budget sleezy DTV flick but his presence lifts it in quality right away, he is even good in his small role as one of the local Detective's investigating these bloody murders & the film is always interesting whenever he's on screen. I mean PERLMAN is always good in anything even if the movie isn't great & here he gives his small but decent enough role as Detective Perry, some character traits & gives him enough life to be an interesting character that i liked to follow through this cheap standard Slasher Thriller.
I've given a longer review than really needed but that's because Ron Perlman deserves some recognition for being a hard working underrated & undervalued actor but The Perl has his fans & I'm one.
The look of this small production is actually decent with that cheap lighting that they always used in these straight to video films, the glow of blue, green & red & i liked the sleezy 90's & Early 2000's feel & its a fine little flick really just nothing special or great but like i said an easy watching little Thriller best watched late at night, oh & the beginning with the funky rap music as it started with the films title & the scenes of people dancing, smoking & wondering about a sleezy motel place was hilarious!!! I laughed lots, good 'ol Perlman for taking this job & making it atleast watchable trash.
