This movie gave me nightmares


It scared the s**t out of me! I had nightmares because of this movie.

I remember when the frozen dude comes back and his dogs were growling at him and how evil he was.

WARNING: This post may contain *SPOILERS*. Michael Beck was superbly unnerving as the cryogenically frozen man who comes back to life without a soul. The scene where he kills the family dog was truly chilling. The scene where he spies on his own cousin getting dressed for bed was likewise very disturbing. This is one of the better and more scary made-for-TV horror movies made in the 80's.

I watched the film last night. I am so happy the mother came in on Stacey (Jill Schoelen) and the son. remember what he did to that woman's face that worked with him at the office? horrible! Beck was effective as the man with no soul with his evil eyes and smug look. I felt horrible for the family friend, it was bad enough he fired him after being with the company for years but then to taunted him before the poor guy had a heart attack. just evil. He was also playing the mother when he said he would hire the guy back fully knowing he was dead. great TV-movie. too bad I had such a horrible copy and couldn't hear a lot of the dialogue. The ending was great too in the freezer.

He's not spying on his "cousin." She is his mother's adopted child. So basically he was spying on (and later attempts to rape) the girl who is basically his sister. Even creepier!
