Out Of Print (OOP) in all formats and no longer being manufactured. Box has been cut and mounted in a white, hard plastic clamshell keepcase and is a little faded. Left spine has a genre sticker on the top and a numbered one on the bottom. Cassette is in good shape with a foil security sticker on the endcap assuring you of first generation quality. Pre-viewed and it had some bad interference for a second or two just before the movie begins. It's also a little jittery during the earthquake scene, then settles down and plays great until the end credits which have some light lines. Sutcliffe, USA, is just another ordinary, agricultural Mid-West community where people chug beer at the local dingy little saloon and get their ailments treated by the folksy old doctor (Hume Cronyn) who brought them into this world. Nothing ever happens, until an earthquake ruptures some subteranean toxic waste storage tanks and everyone starts acting strangely. When her mother attempts an over-the-phone suicide, guilt-ridden dancer Meg Tilly returns home with her doctor boyfriend (Tim Matheson) in tow, and gets involved again in her family's economic and emotional depressions and the denizens strange beaviours: A respectable citizen takes a leak on Matheson's car on Main Street at noon; a frustrated customer standing in line suddenly decides to rob the bank; Tilly's old flame (Bill Paxton) proves his love for her by breaking his own fingers; a harassed mother watches while her children try to burn their best friend to death ("You think it's easy having kids?" she whines); the Sheriff shoots dead a kid who has broken into a parking meter; and Cronyn treats an incontinent patient, who is getting on his nerves, by suffocation. A quieter version of 'The Crazies' (1973), the film's payoff comes in the last reel with an unexpected twist.
