Member Rating:  
This made-for-TV effort from horror director Wes Craven and Salem's Lot producer Richard Kobritz involves a case of cryogenic suspension gone horribly wrong. A wealthy industrialist (Michael Beck) arranges for his body to be kept on ice in a high-tech cryonic chamber with specialized instructions regarding his revival at a future date when medical science can restore him to life. Thanks to a computer malfunction, these instructions are not followed properly, and Beck emerges from the frozen crypt as an empty, soulless creature and a vessel of pure evil with an appetite for destruction. So evil, in fact, that his own mother (Beatrice Straight) decides he must be destroyed and sets out to do the deed herself. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

    I saw this movie years ago and I was looking forward to seeing it again on DVD. But the picture quality is terrible and so is the sound. This movie needs to be remastered badly. So skip this release and wait for a desent one.

    This is a story telling horror movie where the first hour is character development and making the pot which is extremely boring. It does have good acting and directing but has no action until the last 5 minutes.

    Can't tell you much about the movie since i cut it off only ten minutes into it, it was like watching a film reel on a chalk board the color was messed up and it was so blurry it was giving me a headache made my HDMI TV look like garbage, so I would wait till they remake it or digitally remaster it to rent this one don't waste the space, i'm sure though this will be a good film.............Enjoy.
