AMSTERDAMNED (1988) — “Fast, Gory, Immensely Entertaining”
August 24 : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
“A fast, gory, immensely entertaining horror flick that cleverly crosses Dirty Harry with Jaws!” – The Guardian
Down in the murky depths of Amsterdam’s famous canals lurks a murderous predator. Surfacing at night, he kills at random and disappears without a trace. As the bodies begin to pile up and mass hysteria envelopes the city, Detective Eric Visser (Huub Stapel) is assigned to head the investigation. With only the escalating number of victims to go on, Visser pursues his quarry with a vengeance, unaware that his beautiful new girlfriend (Monique van de Ven) may be the mysterious killer’s next victim. Highlighted by an explosive speedboat chase through the city’s narrow canals, Amsterdamned combines the stabby murder-mystery pleasures of a giallo, the subaquatic thrills of Jaws, and the explosive pyrotechnics of a John Woo actioner into a lean, mean slice of Eurosleaze!
