Enemy Territory

[Cowboy Is Cool]

Thanks to Lippy and The Fox both mentioning this VERY obscure cult classic movie, I decided to buy it from Amazon. Get this: it's so obscure, it's only available on VHS. Anybody else ever see this gem? Here is the plot summary, taken from IMDB:

When the sun goes down and the moon shines brightly, the tenants inhabiting the Lincoln Towers tremble in fear...terrified of an evil, omnipotent presence, a merciless street gang calling themselves the "Vampires." The Vampires are lead by none other than Tony Todd as the Count! As the King of these apartments, he strikes fear into the hearts of his innocent prey...

Gary Frank is an insurance salesman, an ordinary, blue collared John Doe. Ray Parker Jr.mis a telephone repairman. The two share absolutely nothing in common except for the necessity of survival. Caught in the warfare of the Vampires' vicious nightly activities of chaos and total fanatical frenzy, the two must align together if their chances of surviving the Vampires' ordeal is at all, to say the least, tenuous. The hunted duo's lives are in jeopardy. Their only essence to triumph over adversity is a motley of courageous souls including a tough elderly woman, her beautiful teenage granddaughter, Toni (Stacey Dash), and a crippled, psychopathic Vietnam veteran (Jan-Michael Vincent. This Vietnam vet may very well serve as much of a hostile threat rather than an ally to both Frank and Ray Jr. The clash between good and evil continues in a vortex of anxiety and perturbation until the last survivors of both sides meet in a final confrontation...

It truly is awesome, and here is the trailer, for anybody still interested. Beware, though, the trailer makes it look alot cheesier than it really is.

I hope at least SOMEBODY out there saw this, although I doubt it.

Yeah that's a pretty bad ad for it.

I saw it when it was first released on video in about 1988. I'm pretty sure it had a referance to The Warriors on the cover. 8) So obviously being a big fan of the warriors even back then i ripped it off the shelves

Yep, that reference on the front cover being "The most bloodthirsty gang since the Warriors"...

Hmmm... I can't quite imagine Swan and co. running through an apartment block with shotguns, looking to blow people away!

Lol, yeah, me either. Speaking of which, I wonder if that's all the Vampires did? Hang out, party, drink, tag the walls of their "castle" and hunt down "ghosts"? Or, maybe they have real gang operations, and only visit the tower once and a while? Hmm... who knows? And, since we seem to be the only people on here who have seen this, who is your favorite character?

Mine is Haj.
