SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like Dead Heat, it turns a hard-boiled buddy-cop pursuit into gleefully lurid supernatural action, escalating through shoot-outs, body horror, and an enjoyably straight-faced 1980s genre-movie pulse.
02
Why this pick
A scrappy practical-effects creature feature with the same affection for grotesque mayhem and rapid genre fun; its monsters and gore are played with earnest, midnight-movie enthusiasm.
03
Why this pick
This similarly grimy 1988 police-horror hybrid pairs urban paranoia with an apparently unstoppable dead lawman, delivering blunt action, pulpy mystery, and satisfyingly physical effects.
04
Why this pick
Its polished practical gore, cynical streak, and escalating civic chaos make it a fine companion: a seemingly familiar monster premise treated with surprising nastiness and buoyant B-movie momentum.
05
Why this pick
A drenched, near-future cop thriller that pushes its detective pairing into monster-movie excess, with the same loud, unapologetic collision of gallows humor, guns, and horror.

01 / THE STORY
Detectives Roger Mortis and Doug Bigelow are called to the scene of a rather violent jewelry store robbery. The robbers take on a squadron of police in a messy shootout, but neither seem affected when they are riddled with bullets. Thanks to the combined, albeit extreme measures of Mortis and Bigelow, they are able to take out the criminals, their acts narrowly avoiding termination. Meanwhile, a coroner friend of Roger's, Rebecca informs the detectives that the two bodies they had brought in had previously been to the morgue: not only do they have autopsy scars, but she herself clearly remembers performing the autopsy and has pictures to prove it, suggesting they simply got up and left the morgue at their own volition.
