Une série de meurtres particulièrement sordides éclate à New York. L'agresseur portait un uniforme de policier, ce qui provoque bientôt une véritable psychose au sein de la population. Soupçonné d'être l'auteur de ces crimes, l'agent Forrest est arrêté. Mais l'inspecteur McCrae, chargé de l'enquête, est convaincu de son innocence... (Carlotta Films)

A typical late 1980s B-movie that went straight to video, with all the pros and cons that come with it. Cohen's script is not great, but director Lustig learned a lot from Sam Raimi, and so the dark atmosphere of nighttime N.Y., where innocent citizens are mowed down by a uniformed officer, is ultimately the film's greatest asset. There’s a decent amount of blood, the murders are well thought out, and only the final hand on the pier doesn't bode well. Normally, it would have left my mind after a few days, but for my distant nostalgic memory of begging to watch this film (as the title and original VHS cover had already inspired a sacred terror in my childhood soul), I'll give it 4 stars.
