I remember seeing this on late night TV as a kid, it was really inventive. Anyone else here seen it?

Freaking love Amsterdamned. Perhaps the last truly great slasher of the eighties. Big love letter to the city's beauty, a cool hero (reminds me of Graham from Mann's Manhunter), a truly iconic slasher villain and some amazing action sequences.

I just wish it was gorier. It's pretty damn dry for a slasher. Barely any blood but the few onscreen kills are brilliantly shot.
