Detective Hobbes hat einen psychopathischen Serienkiller zur Strecke gebracht und wohnt sogar dessen Hinrichtung in der Gaskammer bei. Der Körper stirbt dabei zwar, nicht aber sein bösartiger Geist! Der geht einfach auf einen anderen Menschen über und benutzt diesen als Mordinstrument. Hobbes steht vor einem blutigen Rätsel - er ahnt nicht, dass der Urdämon Azazel ein Katz-und-Maus-Spiel mit ihm spielt ... (kabel eins)

A tragically squandered opportunity for a superb mysterious thriller. The premise of an evil being that jumps from one person to another by touch is very interesting in itself (maybe because it reminded me of a film from my childhood), but here it’s unfortunately smothered by the typical horror garb of the 1990s, where every original idea is followed by twenty clichés. Hoblit and Washington show their chops, but the problem is in the script. 4/10

It’s no surprise that I know absolutely nothing about this film. In the opening credits, the premise makes it look like a weaker version of the movie Seven (which is actually a word of praise for the movie), but that’s only a very weak conjecture formed during the first couple of minutes. What follows is a mixture of all the bad things that the 1990s had to offer in film and what never brought the movies any success. A very forgettable movie.
