3/10
wow... pretty bad

I saw this a long time ago and had neutral-to-positive feelings about it. When I saw it on the shelf at the videostore I rented it again.

I made it 53 minutes and 57 seconds into it, before losing interest and growing tired of the heinous acting. To say the least it's not aging well. Quality-wise, it's a heavy-handed TV movie of the week with a grade-Z horror movie score. The antagonist is Keanu Reeves little brother, who appears to be the world's first seven year old transsexual. A supposedly dead body breathes and is unaffected by decay or rigor mortis. One actor's portrayal of "bad cop" is anus-clenching-ly bad.

Crispin Glover can be singled out for another atrocious, overacted performance. I wonder when the mothership is due back for him.
