A nice assortment of characters, are terrorized by a gang called the "Vampires", while desperately trying to escape from a "project" high rise. The strength of this film is having very sympathetic heroes, Gary Frank, and Ray Parker Jr., interacting with likable tenants, including Jan Michael Vincent playing a whacked Vietnam Vet. The "Vampire"gang are all generic, unmemorable, minority thugs, with the notable exception of "The Count". The movie is both claustrophobic, and a real stretch of realism, but is nevertheless entertaining. Considering the limited budget, "Enemy Territory" is a surprisingly good film..... - MERK

Just bought this on video to see Jan Michael Vincent's part. What a fun movie this was! Urban decay as literal nightmare - huge ghetto apartment, graffiti everywhere, people out to kill you, gangs running rampant - this movie has it all! It captures 'scary' New York very well. I guess you might call it soft-core Blax-sploitation. The music is 80's, but the sheer adrenaline this movie creates still registers today. Jan Michael Vincent has one of the best cameos you will ever see in a movie! He plays 'Parker', a whacked out, bubba-Vietnam vet in a wheelchair (still handsome, but crazed!) who tries to help a remarkably decent-acting Ray Parker Jr. (Yes, the very same Ghostbusters singer in his first acting role) and his white companion. JMV gives an electrifying performance! One wishes he could have had more screen time - but it's well worth seeing his brilliant 10 minutes! Tony Todd (yes, the "Candyman" himself!) is also great as the "Vampire" gang leader in this.

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
