Review of Escape from New York (1981) by Hellholehorror — 03 Apr 2022

I enjoyed this serious film. It was not at all like the sequel which was really a campy version of this film but with a more detailed story. I absolutely loved the effects in this film. They were just these great real effects that had an ingenious design and a complete lack of fake computer aided effects.

There weren't many interesting characters in this except the exciting Snake. It was a good fantasy action film but sadly lacking the intensity of a bigger budget which they had to make up with talking.

It was a very entertaining film but I would have liked to see a touch more action.
