Featured review
I suppose I SHOULD include a -spoiler warning-.
First off, I lived in Rutland for nine years (taking care of an elderly parent).
It's really an awful town. Calling it the vermin infested crotch of New England would not be too unkind.
So with every Edgewood/Porchlight film that destroyed Rutland shown on PAX-TV, I was cheering.
But this film, Jeebus! There's no place anywhere NEAR Rutland where you could put a dam, OR the reservoir that would back up behind the dam.
This is the kind of film that Mystery Science Theater 3000 would have brutally eviscerated. The effects were pathetic, as was the story and acting.
All in all, just don't even bother.
And to the gentleman in the U.K., really, you should have broken the disk in half before you binned it. There's a slight chance the dustman might have spotted it, thought to himself, "My lucky day! A free movie!" brought it home, viewed it, and then, realizing he was that much closer to the grave, bitterly regretting losing that 90 minutes of his life, 90 minutes he will never get back and has now sworn vengeance upon the person who binned that DVD.
Yeah, it's THAT BAD!
