Stressed out LA detective John Berlin gets too near the edge following the destruction of his marriage and decides to leave the violence an un-ending hub-bub of the big city and take a job in the supposedly quiet northern tow of Eureka. Unfortunately, he isn't there long before he finds himself obsessed with pursuing a serial killer with a thing for blind young women. The case isn't new and Berlin's old-time buddy, Freddy Ross and his boys have spent the last six months investigating a string of seven murders. They have dubbed the case "Jennifer 8" because Berlin is positive that he knows the identity of the next victim. She is beautiful blind student Helena Robertson, the roommate of the latest victim. As he steps up his investigation, Berlin finds himself falling for Helena. Meanwhile, he has become so obsessed with finding the killer that pal Ross begins worrying that Berlin is having a breakdown and so goes with him on a late night surveillance of Helena's school. A tragedy ensues leaving Berlin to not only go it alone, but also to clear his own name. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Bruce Robinson's thriller Jennifer 8 comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. One English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a second English track, as well as a French soundtrack, has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials are limited to a theatrical trailer. This workmanlike release does a superb job presenting the picture and sound, but anyone looking for a deeper examination of the film will be disappointed. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
