City in Panic

About This Movie

City in Panic is a gritty horror-thriller that leans heavily into its raw atmosphere, capturing the paranoia of the late '80s with a focus on a marginalized community. The film's pacing is deliberately unsettling, drawing you into the tension that builds as the killer's motives become disturbingly clear. The performances, especially from the late-night radio host Dave Miller, carry much of the weight, portraying a man torn between fear and duty. Practical effects add a layer of authenticity, and the carving of the 'M' on the victims feels hauntingly symbolic. It’s not polished, but it has a certain edge that sets it apart from more mainstream offerings of its time.
