Unstoppable, Unbelievable, Indestructable.

Destroyer aka Shadow of Death is a funny B horror flick directed by Robert Kirk.
Starring Deborah Foreman, Clayton Rohner, Lyle Alzado and Anthony Perkins.

So, this was Foreman´s and Rohner´s second movie together, the first being of course April Fool´s Day (1986)

This is pretty much tongue in cheek stuff
but the last 30 minutes includes some decent action.

The score by Patrick O'Hearn (White Sands) is nice and atmospheric.
I especially like the tune during the end credits:

Here´s the trailer:

Foreman and b movie fans, check it out!

Destroyer (1988)

 -

During the execution of serial killer Ivan Moser (Lyle Alzado) a prison riot breaks out. By the time the guards gain control of the prison, Moser's body is missing. The prison is soon shut down, and sits abandoned until Director Robert Edwards (Anthony Perkins) decides to film a b-level Women In Prison movie there 18 months later. Along for the shooting are camerawoman Susan (Deborah Foreman) and her pseudo-journalist boyfriend David (Clayton Rohner).

I only recommend this flick for fans of Deborah Foreman and Clayton Rohner as a chance to see them in a different type of
role.

I've never even heard of this? I watched Shocker the other night and i'd never heard of it but enjoyed it. The electric chair made me think of it. Might need to look into this one also.

While i enjoyed Destroyer, Shocker is from another world in comparison.

I would only recommend "Destroyer" to Foreman and Rohner fans.. it really isn't very good.

I recommend "Shocker" for everyone..

Shocker (1989)

 -

A killer is on the loose in a Los Angeles suburb, and a television repairman with a pronounced limp named Horace Pinker becomes the prime suspect. When the investigating detective, Lt. Don Parker gets too close, Pinker murders Parker's wife and family except for his adopted son, Jonathan, who develops a strange connection to Pinker through his dreams and leads Parker to Pinker's rundown shop. In a shootout in which several officers are killed, Pinker manages to escape. He targets Jonathan's girlfriend, Allison for retribution.
