High-definition releases often come with restored audio tracks, highlighting the iconic 80s synth-pop score and Murphy’s rapid-fire delivery. 🏆 Critical Reception vs. Cult Status
Directed by Michael Ritchie, the film follows Chandler Jarrell (Murphy), a "finder of lost children" who is thrust into a supernatural battle. He is tasked with rescuing the "Golden Child," a young boy with miraculous powers who has been kidnapped by a demonic villain, Sardo Numspa (played brilliantly by Charles Dance).
Chandler Jarrell is a cynical, fast-talking social worker.
