...Responding to the warnings of CUT leader Elizabeth Clare Prophet, at least 2,000 of the faithful have arrived from Europe, South America and across the U.S. With stores in nearby Livingston reporting a run on dried food, aspirin and flashlights, hundreds of trucks were hauling supplies to 46 steel-and-concrete shelters dug deep into the mountain soil. The bunkers range in size from two-person containers to a vast subterranean hall designed for 756 people...

He murders at random and for pleasure; after a kill...
Director Kathryn Bigelow is Hollywood's suavest young stylist. Trained as a painter, she brings glamour, precision and thrill to every image. This film, bound as it is by action-movie conventions, hasn't the originality of her stunning horror drama Near Dark, and toward the end Blue Steel spins goofily off track.
