Average Rating: 
Rating: - A movie that effectively poses the question: shoud I be forgotten or not?
"Rampage" is a strange movie: it tells a small but nasty story of Charles Edgar Reece, a deranged young man on a killing spree, and the long courtroom battles that follow his arrest. What's so strange is that the movie seems awfully directed, even dull at times, more like a quicky or a routinely made-for-cable TV film. But its director is no one less than William Friedkin, the man who made such powerful films like "The French Connection", "The Excorsist" and "Sorcerer". Three movies which all had ... Read More
Rating: - McArthur bites hard into his role as a serial killer
Rampage is about Michael Biehn (The Terminator, The Rock), a prosecutor who is tracking down a killer who has done several heinous crimes. Soon, they find the killer, a one Charles Reese, played by Alex McArthur (Route 666, Kiss The Girls) and they find out that Reese killed each of his victims and drank their blood but they find out that there's nothing wrong with his brain so that means he killed all of his victims with a sane mind. Interesting story is very rough and wont hold close to some people ... Read More
Rating: - Lost potential.
Loosely based on the crimes of Richard Trenton Chase a.k.a. "The Vampire of Sacramento" RAMPAGE starts out with a bang but then just fizzles out into a sub-par courtroom drama complete with a ending so blah that I could barely remember it 30 minutes after the movie was over.
I originally saw this movie as a teenager around 1992/93 and liked it quite a lot, so watching it again now was a big disappointment. Too much talking and not enough action. The main problem is the movie focuses too ... Read More
Rating: - More worthy for its intentions than its execution
William Friedkin's little seen "Rampage" is a disturbing film that doesn't quite work but still deserves some credit for being one of the few films to actually try to seriously examine the actual real life issues of evil, murder, and justice in this country. Alex McArthur plays a blank-faced serial killer that Friedkin apparently based on Richard Ramirez, the infamous night stalker. The always underappreciated Michael Beihn plays the district attorney who prosecutes McArthur and seeks the death penalty ... Read More
Rating:  - Better Late Than Never
This film was panned by the reviewers when it was came out because it was released many years after the key subject matter had changed in the publics mind. The era in which this film was intended was a time when the options for sentencing a convicted murderer were limited to a life sentence, which would allow some killers to be back on the streets in as few as twelve years or the death penalty.
In that time period William Friedkin started researching material for a film that was supposed to show ... Read More
