If you're wondering why this film graces the pages of Cult Filmz UK, well, it's got Rutger Hauer in it...nuff said!
Plot: In the near future (2008- well it was made in 1992), the environment's gone a little squiffy and the water levels in London have risen to the point that the lower ends of the city are a good couple of feet deep. This means, rats. Lots of 'em. Following a rather nasty serial killer (this one rips out its victims hearts and has a nibble), Harley Stone (Ruts- Blade Runner) is a bad ass and he's on the trail of the man that killed his partner. So, he'll need a new one. In comes Detective Dick Durkin (I ain't kiddin'), an Edinburgh University graduate with a belief in the occult. Well, off they go, Ruts eating chocolate, drinking coffee and smoking cigars like they're going out of fashion and Dick, well, Dick's just a bit annoying really.
The monster's pretty cool. Shame the poster gives it all away.
Line of the film: "You really get laid every night?"
"Oh Yeah!"
Budget: $7,000,000
Gross: $5,430,822
Fun Fact: this film co-stars Pete Postlethwaite (R.I.P) and Kim Cattrall (Mannequin). It's also got one of the ghosts from Scrooged in it too.
