Nightmare On Elm Street director Wes Craven was at the helm of this little underrated horror flick about a resurrected psychotic killer. After a killing spree in LA, a television repairman with a prominent limp named Horace Pinker (Mitch Pileggi) becomes the chief suspect. When the lead detective, Lt. Don Parker (Michael Murphy), gets too close, Pinker slaughters Parker's wife, foster son, and foster daughter. However, his other foster son Jonathan (Peter Berg) develops a peculiar link to Pinker through his dreams and leads Parker to Pinker's whereabouts. Pinker is eventually apprehended and sentenced to death (via electric chair, naturally). When we watch him fry it's satisfying only momentarily; it's takes place about 20 minutes into the film, of course he wont stay dead. This electrocution scene sets the entire film in motion; because once he is killed he then gains the ability to possess the body of others. He definitely deserved to fry, but they should have just given this guy life.
