Directed and written by Murray Mintz, Cardiac Arrest is about a serial killer who is surgically removing the hearts from his victims. It feels like a TV movie and that’s not a bad thing.
Clancey Higgins (Garry Goodrow) and Wylie Wong (Michael Paul Chan) are the cops, Leigh Gregory (Max Gail) is the man whose wife Dianne (Susan O’Connell) needs a heart transplant and a famous doctor (Ray Reinhardt) just may be running a black market for hearts.
There’s even a part for Fred Ward, who always makes me happy when he shows up in a movie. But wow, the box art for this is so amazing that I was hoping that the movie that was inside the packaging could live up to it. It doesn’t, but there’s some charm in Goodrow and how he plays his role.
You can watch this on Tubi.
