Minor thriller set in the subway

My review was written in June 1989 after watching the movie on Sony video cassette.

Gotham-lensed video feature, previously called just "Underground", is an okay thriller about a ruthless gang living in the subway and preying on hapless travelers.

Pic avoids the horrific approach of uch predecessors as "Raw Meat' (which dealt with cannibals in the British underground) but is still grisly in linming sadistic nutcase Lennie Loftin's antics beneath Gotham's streets.

Doc Dougherty, convincingly uptight in his verbal explosions, is the gung-ho cop who's suspended from the force for excessive violence. He teams up with femmer reporter B. J. Georda to track down the killers.

Pic benefits from atmospheric location lensing. Other tech credits are ordinary.
