While recording sound effects for a slasher flick, Jack Terry stumbles upon a real-life horror: a car careening off a bridge and into a river. Jack jumps into the water and fishes out Sally from the car, but the other passenger is already dead — a governor intending to run for president. As Jack does some investigating of his tapes, and starts a perilous romance with Sally, he enters a tangled web of conspiracy that might leave him dead.

Blow Out Ratings & Reviews

  • RyezooFebruary 20, 2025
    Found this film through a underrated movie list and I'm glad I did. This is a unquie film that is beautifully shot and well acted by John Travolta. I also really like that this isn't a cookie cutter ending. The lighting sets the tone with all its vibrant colors and the editing is top notch. The cons to the movie is that the score doesn't work with modern day viewing and the female lead is semi annoying. Check it out
