    Jack the Ripper1888

    The nicest thing that I can say about this film is "This is the dumbest and most terrible 'horror' movie that I have ever had the misfortune of seeing".

    And this is a horror movie? I think not. A group of young, hormone-driven teens, sneak into an abandoned asylum (which is basically just a really old house as there are no cells in the so-called "asylum"). And they decide to play a game of "hide the undies" from each other. The kills are totally unoriginal and stupid. Many sex scenes, which I would normally consider good, but are just stupid and pointless here.

    To be brutally honest, I can't even remember what Corbin Bernsen and Dee Wallace Stone had to do with the film, I kept on losing interest. I even started dusting the TV screen when it wasn't dusty. That should tell you how terrible this film is. If you haven't seen this, please don't. It may be dangerous to your health. The bottom line: "Bring this film to the garage and smash as many times as you can with a sledge hammer". KILLER INSTINCT gets 1/2* out of 5.

    Don't Judge it Till you See It!

    A Sleeper in it's type, gets better and better as it goes on. Good Dark and Stormy Night Film - with a Well Done Ready for Sequel Ending. But the Proof is in the Watching. Stay with it - if you like your Horror with a High Body Count - at least until the bars drop on the doors! (Nuff Said) Judge this one for yourself - don't let then Dumpers stop you.

    Excellent Horror Film

    I must say that my main motivation at first for renting this flick was to see the locations in and around my hometown forever immortialized on celluloid. But as I was watching the film, I soon saw that it was a very well done film and genuinely scary. If you enjoy this movie, be sure to visit the Chef's diner in Downingtown, PA (which was also the location for the 1958 classic 'The Blob')

    A terrible film, do not watch if you have a soul.

    TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE. A downright bad movie with no redenmning value whatsoever. If you look up the term cliche in the dictionary you will find "see: Killer Instinct". And continuitity errors? you bet. Good acting? If you think Kevin Costner is a quality actor, sure. Special Effects? Who needs them. Senseless nudity with no purpose whatsoever? You bet your ass. Clever kills? Sure glass that defies the laws of physics. If you find this movie at your local movie store, rent it and burn it. This is the type of film that ruins the horror genre. Once again, please, please, please, do not give money to the wannabee filmakers who made this trash.

    *1/2 out of 4.

    Group of teens holed up in an abandoned house conducting a scavenger hunt are murdered off while drinking and having sex. Dee Wallace Stone thinks the house has something to do with a past murder and a respected town citizen (Corbin Bernsen). Wallace still looks good after all these years and it is nice to still see her working, but this flick is just terrible. The ending is a complete mess and the teens are of your typical garden variety. A bit more violence and sex then usual however.

    Rated R; Strong Sexual Content, Graphic Violence and Profanity.

      When Sarah was leaving the diner to talk to Jennings, you see her pick up the file she was looking at. The next scene, you see Sarah walk out of the diner with just the suitcase and no file. When you see her outside, she has the file in her hand.
