804 Hideaway (1995)

 Directed by Brett  Leonard ( The  Lawnmower Man )  and  apted from a Dean Koontz novel, this was a box office  flop not  helped by the author's struggle to dissociate himself from it. Jeff Goldblum plays Hatch a family man seemingly dead after a road accident but revived by an experimental doctor ( Alfred Molina ). However he now has a psychic link with Vassago (Jeremy Sisto) an alarmingly handsome serial killer with designs on his daughter. This is  a  watchable  film  thanks to  Goldblum's performance though  there's any number of  plotholes and  a pseudo-religious angle at the  climax cheapens it.
