userray2305 This suspense filled movie about a diabolical, insane killer, a helplessly trapped psychiatrist, and a caught up in the mix janitor gives new meaning to the term astonishing! The doctor, played saucily by Paulina Porizkova, becomes trapped in an insane asylum at night with no way out. The deranged lunatic, performed admirably by Larry Drake Jr., hunts her down, as they play cat and mouse. Meanwhile, a hapless janitor, played brilliantly by Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club), tries to help the doctor, and survive the night. Will the sun rise before "The Thrasher" catches the doctor and janitor? Rent or buy this exciting movie and find out! Also: great directing by Gregory Gieras.

Eyes_of_Emerald I saw this movie really late at night and didn't really have high hopes for it, but it turned out to be very entertaining.Larry Drake did a *great* job as the deranged lunatic; I must admit he scared the bejesus out of me. His eyes totally creeped me out. Paulina Porizkova was surprisingly effective as the psychiatrist who the Trasher (Drake) was after. Judd Nelson, to me, was the highlight of the whole movie, he had some killer lines which just cracked me up. *SPOILER ALERT* When Paulina and Judd Nelson (Quitz) were trying to confuse the Trasher (Drake) (over walkie-talkies) in regards to the synchronization of the locks in order to get out of the asylum, they didn't get an answer back from the Trasher right away and Judd Nelson said "Maybe you confused him to death." I know, you had to see the movie to appreciate the line, but I got a real kick out of it. *END OF SPOILER ALERT*The movie was non-stop, there was action the whole time.....I cannot stand a movie that lags and drags and makes you start looking at the clock. The Trasher (Drake) was pretty darn persistent, and that's an understatement.Take a look at this movie if you get a chance. I don't agree with the people who said it was the worst movie they'd ever seen. It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but it was surprisingly good. Definitely worth your time to watch it.

Joe-Cuba I rented this as a "throw away", just something to watch. Surprisingly, it wasn't bad. No, it wasn't Jason or Freddy but it kept the pace. Larry Drake made a good psycho and Judd Nelson did well as the "janitor". It has potential to be developed into a better movie if it were remade. Remember "Red Dragon" was a B movie in the 80's before it caught on and remade well. I recommend it as one of the better B movie thrillers.

jstuur7147 Okay, I didn't expect much from this movie. No big names, except for Larry Drake (when was the last time he was in something decent?), and Pauline Porizkova (Ric Ocasek's SO). Your typical idiot plot (everybody acts like an idiot otherwise the movie would be over in about 5 minutes), your unstoppable loonie, your designated victims. Refreshing change in that we didn't have to listen to the loonie babble endlessly. However, the big oddity is the implicit message: sane people are stupid, ineffectual, weak, and incompetent. Crazies, on the other hand, are cunning, tough, brutally strong, and endure gunshots with only minor annoyance. This is seen not only in our unstoppable villain, but also in the sympathetic, supportive nutcase who aids our heroine. It is even seen (albeit briefly) in our heroine herself, who has her sanity repeatedly questioned when she starts behaving with some sense of self-preservation. Add in the coffee-swilling, donut scarfing cops and you have 90 minutes of stupidity you won't want to watch sober.
