"Into the Fire" is what you'd call a schizophrenic movie; - or at least the person in charge of the promotional campaigns was schizophrenic. If you look at the official title, the cover-art here illustrated on IMDb, and the plot-unfolding of the film, this is simply a very basic and banal B-movie thriller/film-noir wannabe. The version I got to watch, however, looks completely different. The VHS available on the Belgian market is by the legendary "Vestron Video" company and has the look & feel of a genuine horror movie. It has the far more unique and mysterious title "The Legend of Wolf Lodge", the cover is sinister (with a woman running for her life, knee-deep in the snow), and the plot synopsis that keeps rambling on about desecrated Indian burial grounds and vengeful spirits.
Well, guess once what the actual plot is about? Nothing to do with burial grounds, spirits, or anything horror whatsoever. "Into the Fire" - what fire? - is a predictable double-cross thriller with all the clichés that exist. Watchable, of course, also thanks to the good looks of Olivia d'Abo and the crooked face of Art Hindle, but forgettable and totally unsurprising.
