    Cool old movie. I've started working my way through Demi Moore's filmography and this was second on the list. Next up I've got "Young Doctors in Love (1982)."

    Yeah, that ending should have been a lot better - but overall, this was surprisingly solid B-movie magic (with a music score that definitely punches above its weight).
