WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
A vulnerable married couple befriends a solitary cop after he investigates a robbery attempt at their Los Angeles home. Unfortunately for them, the cop (Liotta) winds up as a crazed intruder who decides that the woman of the house should be his. Liotta is great as the freaky, maniac cop.

LaserDisc Picture:
The transfer is true to the 1.85:1 theatrical projection. Image quality is good with consistent color accuracy and balance throughout. There is no appreciable noise artifacts.

LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The Dolby Surround® soundtrack is aggressively mixed both with respect to the stereo pans and to sound effects effectively steered to the surrounds. This makes for a more compelling experience and heightens the suspense and tension.
