From the director (Paul Lynch) and composer (Paul Zaza) of PROM NIGHT, comes an experiment in suspense and watered-down De Palma. Keitel features neither of his trademarks: gratuitous full-frontal nudity, nor extended scream-weeping. (See also: BAD LIEUTENANT.)
For a variety of reasons, just trust me when I say you're better off skippin' this one.

All I'm getting from these images is an alt-history vibe where Hollywood had attempted an X-Men movie in the mid 80s, with Keitel as Wolverine. I mean, seriously, just look at him here.
Director? Well, say, Cameron, Verhoeven or McTiernan would've perhaps been too self-evident; Albert Pyun too schlock. At just the right vintage, I nominate the following:
Jack Sholder
Steven M. Lisberger
Mark L. Lester
Russell Mulchahy
Wolfgang Petersen
Tobe Hooper
Additional cast:
Peter Weller
Meg Foster
Tim Thomerson
Keith Gordon
Brad Dourif
Cynthia Rhodes
Sho Kosugi
Brion James
and Patrick Stewart
Cannon,
I'm gonna give the gig to Mulcahy, I think, though Mark L. Lester would also rock it very hard.
I imagine Brad Dourif is Magneto and Peter Weller is Cyclops, given he can reuse part of his ROBOCOP visor? I also assume Meg Foster is playing Mystique and that no special effect will be necessary since the camera will capture the subtle reverberations of her insane ice-blue eyes? And if Brion James is Sabertooth, that means we get some nice Keitel vs. James crazy-eye.
I also think we should throw in Dennis Hopper as a secondary human villain, like a business magnate or corrupt high school principal.
