First excuse, I was reading a book watching this which I picked up very quickly after first ten minutes of awful acting, cinematography, plot (possibly my error by picking up book) but this film is not very good quality. Yes I know the overall intention was DTV so budget was wafer thin. Maybe I should give the film credit for producing a whole film. But it was hard to follow basically because the opening was so bad I just lost interest. Genuinely good talent like Jeffery Combs and Barbara Crampton may have joined due to the good experience with Stuart Gordon in the 80's. Their potential is not really used at all. Re-Animator ( except for one scene which crossed the line even for me even with a VERY high threshold because it was not shocking or amusing) and From Beyond are stand out relatively small budget still producing classics. This? Maybe my fault for not paying more attention was plotless. But the lack of attention goes two ways. Make me interested and I will pay more intention. This is why I suspect no one has added a synopsis on IMDB. No one delighted enough to sum up a whole film. So when we come to some of the shock moments with poor material effect and make up they just looked more than a little distasteful. Or gross. Only a few times but if you have viewed you will know.
All unfortunate really as a movie. Stuart Gordon wrote a potential disaster in the 90s of a remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers too. He is rembered with great regard for his talent to me. This is just not one of his greatest achievements.
If you have not seen this and you come across the chance too...well your decision. But within the first ten minutes you will know the standards applied here.
Thinking about it, if you haven't seen his, for which he wrote the screenplay and was directed by Abel Ferrara, Body Snatchers then you will find one of his classic underrated 90s movie.
