When I say say that Hell froze over when this movie hit the theater I really mean it. This movie should never have been filmed... but then again, here it is. A shining milestone in Maltese filmography. Not! I could go on at great lengths on how terrible this film actually is but I decided to turn a blind eye on all the lighting and sound defects, the poor special effects and so on. Let the producers take cover behind the old lie that we don't have the equipment... What I am going to comment about is the story, or lack thereof.
What hit me the hardest was that the whole script was completely unoriginal and uninspired. The storyline was nothing more than a regurgitation of ideas borrowed from other films and badly executed to say the least. So okay, the movie was low budget, so why didn't they create a script that used the plot and the acting to push the story along instead of relying so much on the "special-effects" that were mediocre in comparison with what the rest of the world has? Fact is, Malta has good script writers and Malta has good actors but none were used in this film and it is a shame that it is by such a film that we are setting our standards.
