"Dark and intense thriller, still uncomfortably relevant 35 years after it was made." Blog Of Horror

"From co-directors Paul Donovan and Maura O’Connell comes one of the most disturbing – and rarely-seen – Canadian shockers of the '80s, inspired by the actual 42-day Halifax police strike: When a local group of right-wing vigilantes massacres the patrons of a gay bar, the sole survivor seeks refuge in a nearby apartment building whose residents must now defend themselves in a night of hate, terror and bloodshed. Released in the U.S. as SELF DEFENSE." (--- Severin Films)
