Too TV Movie Like, But Great Makeup Effects


This movie has some good stuff! But, the look is more like a TV movie. I think a different cinematographer would have changed that. And, director Mary Lambert has done mostly TV and videos, so that plays into it.

Dale Midkiff isn't at the level to carry the emotional weight of the movie, which does hurt things.

The movie does catch its stride towards the end as it goes off the rails, though!

And, the makeup effects are very impressive!

Midkiff and Denise Crosby look like amateurs in this one.
