Crash is the novel about people fucking in car crashes. It’s disturbing, low-key terrifying and prescient.

Benoit Lelievre
Movie Reviews

A goofy monster movie at best. An ill-fated attempt at branding a new horror franchise at worse. Nightbreed is somewhere it between and it’s pretty entertaining for reasons that are both good and bad.
