The kidnapper is a remorseless psychopath who wants to collect a ransom, then murder his captives. His victims' only hope is their own wits - and the aid of the dazed and desperate homeless people who roam this urban netherworld.

Cunningham (Friday the 13th). A Stranger Is Watching: You won't be able to look away.

    I can't pass up a horror movie.
    Especially one by the co-creator of Friday the 13th.
