Insurance salesman Barry (Gary Frank) visits an urban ghetto to sell insurance to a client and has a run in with a young member of a vicious street gang called the Vampires. This gang runs the district. Soon their leader, aptly named 'The Count' (Tony Todd) hears about this and wants Barry dead. Barry is trapped in the apartment building with no way out; we soon see the murder of an elderly cop who tries to protect Barry so we know the gang mean business. Barry teams up with Ray Parker Jnr and they also enlist the help of the only man the gang supposedly fears, the wheelchair bound Parker, a Vietnam War veteran, (played by Jan-Michael Vincent). However they are totally outnumbered. The vampires are after blood.The film is fast paced and entertaining but does has strong violence and racism in as well so be warned. Sadly this film is hard to find and seems to have disappeared since the VHS days. Ray Parker Jnr is first class and you question why he never became a mega star. Tony Todd is a great presence as always and it's sad that Candy man was the height of his career, he deserved better. He does seem to enjoy himself in the role as the count. Jan-Michael Vincent completes a great cast. Also a great music soundtrack from the Boogie boys an American hip hop band group from New York, where this film was shot. The band sadly spilt up a year after this film was made.Watch out for the clever ending; note the gang are called Vampires when you look for this. This film is worth the effort to hunt down even if it's only an old VHS you can find. Deserves a DVD release.

This is great! I want this movie on DVD!!!! I thought to myself this movie couldn't possibly have scored good on IMDb i didn't think anyone else liked it! It was one of those movies I "grew up" watching...and haven't forgotten it to this day...can practically play it scene for scene in my head :) I used to do a double bill when I was like, 13-14yo, I'd watch the Warriors (1979) and then follow up with Enemy Territory...they were the perfect B-movie popcorn combo - both set in gritty NY...the old, hardcore NY - 70's and 80's...what a time to live there! And both take place in the space of one night - to me, this creates so much tension in a film...i love the sunrise scenes when the nightmares are over...perfect. I recommend the Warriors if you like this movie, and vice-versa.

This movie, i must have watched it 40 times...but not in the last 10 years, would love to watch and see if it still scares me, it invoked alot of emotion in me as a child...racism....hatred...violence...all wrapped up into one big burrito is what you have here...i loved this movie, and it was my first exposure to a VERY underrated actor, Tony Todd...although reaching mimimal success as candyman...and recently as a 2 bit part of a mortician in final destination...he is very good onstage with the creepy image, needs to be his own villain!!! wtg tony 10:10

You really don't see a movie like this for the performances. It's all for the action. Yes this movie is somewhat racist, but it also says a lot about life along the way, how we treat people according to race and environment, how we view that 'Nam-rattled vet in a wheelchair down the hall who resembles a drugged out Jan-Michael Vincent. Seriously, this film could've been a minor classic with a stronger cast, sort of one of those uncompromising horror epics as LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and HILLS HAVE EYES. Why, if Wes Craven had made this instead of HILLS HAVE EYES 2, DEADLY FRIEND, SHOCKER, PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, and VAMPIRE IN BROOKLYN, he wouldn't have had to wait 12 years between the original NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST and SCREAM to once again be heralded a genius of the thinking man's horror cinema. A person with his wit, intelligence and genuine talent behind the camera could've made this one something that transcended the action/horror/ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13-type genre. As it stands though, it's a decent night out in exploitation cinema as long as you give the themes some good thought afterwards.
