I discovered this film about three years ago and been in love with it ever since. Rutger Hauer was the perfect choice to play the antagonist of this film.
When I saw this movie back in the day (1986) I never considered it a 'horror' I thought it was something else entirely, although I still can't say for certain what that it. It's an underrated classic andcertainly one of the iconic 80s movies that has never been replicated since, a true masterpiece of suspense, mystery and stunned amazement for 38 years......
When you are menace, intimidation, and indifference personified, you don't explain yourself. The script gets this. John Ryder doesn't explain himself to Jim. Certainly not to anyone else. And the audience is not given such courtesies either.
