Fear City1984

Horror Vault's take

In the neon-soaked underbelly of 1980s Manhattan, a shadowy killer is methodically hunting the women who work the city's strip clubs, leaving investigators scrambling to stop the bloodshed. A grizzled detective and a haunted ex-boxer with his own ties to the scene find themselves on a collision course with a predator who seems to strike without warning. Abel Ferrara's exploitation-tinged thriller captures Times Square at its most dangerous and seductive, blending crime procedural tension with slasher-style dread. The city itself feels like a character — corrupt, electric, and merciless.
