Seeing Dylan McDermott slit his wrists. Im jk. There was nothing to like.

Besides the soundtrack, it's a tough strong film, not for weak hearted people, yet it has a cerebral tone to it:

Moses seeing maggots on his arms after Mark 13's poison makes in hallucinate, his inner thoughts telling himself to fight in his mind, then seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, all the while classical music playing while Mark 13 is gloriously taking over. With some nice evil close ups.
That scene was editing a bit for dvd, vs the VHS.

It's filthy!

As someone else stated on these boards, 'It's the dirtiest science fiction film ever made.' I'd have to agree.

In fact, for me, it's without a doubt the most pure 'Grindhouse' movie that came out during the 1990's. Just pure sleaze and exploitation.
