    So bad you gotta love it!

    I've been a Lance Henriksen fan ever since I saw him in Pumpkinhead. Apart from being a very versatile actor, I really love his voice. Pity he was only in the film a few minutes. I loved the very different characters - each with their own issues. The photography was very amateurish at times. Some interesting visuals (note I said interesting not good). Interestingly enough, the film won an award for Best Visual Effects... The film got increasingly worse as it progressed, but hey, if you want to see something you haven't seen before, then this is probably it. The effects are very, very low budget and practical. Its definitely not a good film, but somehow I still found it watchable. The ending was pretty laughable, actually, but you have to see it. You will be entertained either way - whether you like it or hate it.

    Deliciously Bad

    If you're a fan of horror that is so bad that it's good, you might just have a blast with this one. The first hour is original and unusual; I can't remember a story-line quite like it. The ending fails to impress, but horror fans are used to that. Overall, it's a hoot!

    Great start, collapses 2/3 in

    Starts off well for the genre. There's even some darkly hilarious lines but unfortunately they ran out of gas trying to come up with another 20 decent minutes and it rapidly deteriorates. A pity! 5 stars for some good laughs and Hey it's that Startship Troopers girl and she hasn't aged a day in 20 years damn son.

    Evil in a box

    Decent premise for this overlooked film. An estranged family gathers to hear what their hated patriarch left each of them. Needless to say, what they receive is not what they anticipated.

    The concept has promise, and although I wish it had taken a different direction, it is a fun film. Dina Myers looks amazing and gives a fine performance, as do the rest of the man cast. The acting is good, most of the characters developed and interesting, and the menacing feel of impending doom made me want to see what played out. Although the basic plot was obvious from the start, this genre-bender that kept me watching until the finish with plenty of unpredictable twists along the way.

    Why not give it a try?

    Forgettable.

    Started off not bad but slowly got more and more stupid with a truly awful ending. The very best part was when the hot Nurse at the beginning undid her blouse a bit and I'm not kidding.

      In the opening scene the nurse checks her patient's pulse with her thumb, rather than fingertips. Your own thumb has a pulse so the reading would be false.
