  Shot in Bulgaria and Canada, with a "Wes Craven Presents" caption--that doubtless has something to do with the producer being Craven's son--Mind Ripper started out as The Hills Have Eyes, Part 3 but turned into yet another re-run of the plot about the genetically-engineered super-being-cum-brain-eating-monster who gets loose in an underground research station and slaughters scientists one by one in grisly fashion. After most of the original cast members are killed, craggy Lance Henriksen turns up with his family to provide a fresh set of characters to be chased, menaced, jumped on, cranially sucked and splattered. The monster, acronymed THOR (Dan Blom), is a would-be suicide volunteered for a new serum created by the sinister GenTec Corporation. He turns into a bald steroid case with yellow contact lenses and a Cronenbergian brain-leeching tentacle tongue, and meagre attempts are made at wringing pathos out of his plight (uniquely, the monster has an irrelevant dream sequence in which he is killed by the heroine). It's competent but formulaic stuff, with reliable Henriksen carrying more than his weight at the head of a cast of then-unknowns, some of whom (Giovanni Ribisi, Natasha Gregson Wagner) have gone on to improve their careers. On the DVD: there are frame captures passed off as a photo gallery and the trailer; and the picture is fullscreen. But what else can you expect?--Kim Newman

• Sweepers | DVD | (15/04/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £3.99

  One Step Between Life And Death. War-ravaged Angola is home to the worst mercenaries cutthroats and terrorists the world has to offer. It is there that Christian Erickson (Dolph Lundgren) leads his elite team of Sweepers - men with nerves of raw iron who clear mine fields to make the land safe for native villagers. It is there that Christian's eleven-year-old son is tragically killed following his father when rebels attack the humanitarian team. Five years later a covert team led by beautiful explosives expert Michelle Flynn (Claire Stansfield) arrives in Angola to investigate the manufacture of a super-lethal A6 land mine being used for terrorist bombings in the U.S. When Michelle's partners are killed she must enlist the embittered Christian as her only hope of retrieving the A6. Piece by piece they discover the sinister plot behind the land mines and unmask a deadly adversary they never expected. Their journey climaxes in a fight-to-the-death chase through torturous jungle and deep diamond mines with the kind of incendiary action that doesn't stop until the final explosion.
