This film starts out well enough: a young man (Darkly Noon, played by Brendan Fraser) stumbling through the forest collapses onto a dirt road and is found and taken to the home of Callie (Ashley Judd). As his mind clears, we find out that Darkly is a deeply disturbed individual, and that his keeper (Callie) is no less strange. Unfortunately, the remainder of the film doesn't capitalize on its interesting beginning. The acting by both Judd and Fraser is distinctly uninspired, and the plot entirely predictable. The use of blood and gore as an attempt to shock the viewer is overdone and unnecessary.
Brendan Fraser's association with this film is in line with his previous work (Encino Man, Airheads), but Judd's involvement is a disappointment following the excellent Ruby in Paradise.
