starsUNITED IN DEATH AS IN LIFE

Warning: Spoilers
Hairy necked Viking Michael "Don't Call Me Junior" Wolffsen (Tyler Mane) returns home after being away for twenty years to his father Garrison (Muse Watson) who has dementia. He sees things on bad days and on good days too. Michael is with his fiancee Juliette (Renae Geerlings) and moody teen nephew Brandon ( Alex Saxon) who uses his own eye liner. Taking care of Garrison is his second wife Annabelle (Leslie Easterbrook) who he often mistakes for his first wife.

There appears to be some haunting along with some gruesome flashbacks to a murder explained about half way through the film. Garrison is compulsive about security in his isolated compound/home and has a "safe room" decorated like the set designer has a necronomicon. As we try to figure out what is going on, it becomes worse when we find out...rather a let down.

Our writers didn't stick to what works: Cursed Indian burial ground, woman rolling around on the ceiling, and a shower scene. This is especially true when the acting is borderline, the dialogue sucks, the plot boring, and the entity sub-par. Nice attempt at originality, but the film seemed so uneven.

Might make it as a Redbox rental.
