(1 reviews)| |  | Burns out after first 30 Minutes |  |
This film is basically about a guy who gets revenge on his mistress/girlfriend who seemingly starts fires. It reveals what a 4th degree burn is (total carbonation of the skin) and clearly had an influence on such modern films as "Fatal Attraction" and Sam Raimi's "Darkman". Despite this, it is dated has loses steam after the first thirty minutes. The extras are simply the Radiation March, and an interview with the script writer.
FYI: This film bombed in America, but was a blockbuster overseas with it's alternative title: "Phantom of the Ferris Wheel".
