I am pretty much all over the map on this one, so I checked the spoiler box just to be safe. Be advised that this is only the *second* comment I have made about a movie on IMDb. I don't waste my time gushing about the movies I like, so you do the math.I snagged this film off of the Sundance Channel for later viewing and, the time having arrived and being in possession of three-quarters of a bottle of Jack Daniels, I figured I could withstand anything. Truth be told, I did not anticipate such a bad movie although I had to pause it half way through to make a run to the corner Stater Brothers for another quart of Jack.In any event, usually such movies start formidably with some kind of gimmick or hook and then disintegrate in the final reel. However, the wheels came off of this one straight out of the shoot. Forgive the mixed metaphors, but I am working on the last of that second bottle of JD.I am afraid it lost me at the chess game game in the park; the protagonist shows up, loses a game to the artist, gets a headache, heads to a shrink, and people start bleeding out of their eyes.O.k., I get it. The guy's a head case.But as the bourbon took hold, this movie started assuming an alternate persona, if you will. You know, like when you show up at a party, have a few belts, and the revelers' true personalities start to manifest themselves.Anyway, the scenes started to appear choppy and poorly crafted, the actors became stiff and their lines were delivered woodenly and without lilt. The characters' makeup -- makeup? -- was troweled on and, in the poor lighting of this movie, made everyone look like they had been recruited from a Ralph's parking lot for a student flick. I am afraid poor Ms Hussey fell victim to this process as well...then it hit me: the cheesy makeup, the goofy monster costumes, wooden actors, stilted dialog, and clumsy scenes. Ed Wood had come back and is living in the body of Andrew va der Houten.Poor Olivia Hussey. And too bad Bela Lugosi is pushing up daisies. He coulda brought some real life to this dog.

And i don't even know how to justify the 1 i am giving this movie, the scale wont let me go lower.OK, we have everything here, poor acting, lame disjointed storyline, poorly managed blood scenes, nothing realistic, nothing makes sense, characters weren't interesting just plain dull or ridiculous. But the biggest disappointment of all was when we finally got to look at the "scary beast", well into the movie it turns out to be some rubber pig-faced recycled costume, it reminded me of those monsters on the early seasons of the Power Rangers, God that's when you realize that your initial gut feeling was in the right, it was a crap movie.....Someone here mentioned that you usually get these sorts of movies in English language, i could not agree more, any good horror clip that i have seen has not been in English, Thailand has a very good horror movie industry for example, it is also interesting to note that the only people who are giving good ratings to this piece of garbage are either American or English... i think you guys should go have a look at the international section on your local videoshop, you might be surprised of what other people can produce.

*there might be spoilers, we'll see* I'm going to fill out this review as we go along to give a more accurate description of the film. . . this is the first time I've done this. It's a Sunday night at around 7-8 o'clock.-We open pretty well with a couple of fairly strange scenes. . . one involving what I assume will become the main character. . . and a woman bleeding on a birthday cake. . . interesting enough to keep my attention. . . so, I'll continue sparingly.-Ugh. I think I just encountered the most horrid actor in an extras role in history. I'll call him our friendly little gaysian (gay Asian) guy. Terrible. Just terrible.-We're about a half-hour and we've had a couple of violent deaths and our first gratuitous sex scene. Both of which done very well for the genre.-Now nearly an hour in and I believe we're finally starting to form some semblance of a plot. Seems like we have a super-genius twentysomething who likes to have some blinding mental tremors. There has been some chess. . . some sex. . . some murder. . . seems like my regular Friday night. . . minus the obvious. . . I don't play chess.-The acting from the B-movie leads isn't really all that terrible. I could actually picture a couple of them in REAL movies. Hopefully they can show themselves later on in this picture once a plot shows itself.-Well, things are starting to show themselves as a typical psychological horror thriller. . . with some pretty good gore. But other than those effects, not much is impressing me thus far.-Okay, just hit one of the first plot twists. . . and predictable as predictable comes. If you didn't see it coming about 30 mins prior to the actual revelation. . . well, good for you. At least you're surprised and perhaps still enjoying.-An hour and eighteen minutes in. . . my first bit of shock. But it was a jump fright, so nothing to rattle on about. It lasted less than a second. And I'm back to the original stupor I've been in for the past hour.Damn that was bad. . . I'm sorry. It was a good try. And it started out well, but the same plot has been done so many times it's hard to be original anymore.Well, kids. That's all for now. And I promise never to do this type of review ever, ever again.Now I'm off to watch a movie that never fails to impress me. . . "Unbreakable." Thank you, Night.

The film was kinda lame but the love making scene with Pollyanna McIntosh was top notch. Worth the price of rental alone. That gal has a rack and bum worth dying for.Olivia Hussey best known for her portrayal as Juliet in 1968, and as Mary in some biblical yawner was nice to look at too. Her bust line seems to have increased along with her age. Must be the water in Argentina.The latex monsters were poorly done, something circa 1960's Outer Limits. Lots of splashing gore but not much else.The plot line was hard to follow and the ending was predictable.
