The late great Wes Craven planned to produce the third in his classic The Hills Have Eyes franchise and let his son Jonathan take the directorial reigns but a last minute title change gave us Mind Ripper instead of The Hills Have Eyes 3!! Starring the legendary Lance Henriksen as a scientist who accidentally resurrects a fully blown brain-hungry cannibal during some re-animation experiments, 1995's Mind Ripper is a more supernatural slant on the slasher formula than the demented desert terror of The Hills Have Eyes. Even so, fans of slice and dice delirium can expect plenty of stalking, suspense and splatter theatrics in this all-time classic of video rental violence. (88 Films)

Claire Stansfield and Lance Henriksen were having an on-set romance when this was being filmed. It’s too bad that was the only positive aspect of the film that cost her her career. On paper, it may have looked pretty good, but after the more "A" production of Drop Zone, it needed something else. As a fan, I appreciate that she had tons of screen time and a shower scene, but there aren't that many of us that feel this way. ;)
