Fear the movie!!!!! It's really a piece of crap, a bad, bad movie, and no, I don't mean a GOOD bad movie. It's so bad it is probably the worst Albert Pyun film, and that is something. Here's why.
- Plot? makes no sense at all. It deals with the victims od a plague. While the victims shown at the beginning are placidly sleeping in hospital beds. Later they try to convince us that the plague turns people into superhuman mutant psychotics and that nobody knows about it! What's worst, the whole movie is just the main actors chasing the said psycho in the poorest settings you could imagine.
- Actors? Christopher Lambert probably had a free day or two so he appears here. I maen, he appears, but don't expect any acting at all. Natasha Hendridge probably felt proud they gave her a role in a movie she did not have to strip in.
- Production Design: Vahicles look east Europe though we are in the US. Why they wear the sign "Policia" (in Spanish!) is never explained. Armours wear by police also have this word on them.
- Can you believe people can not only survive but act with normality after being shot a dozen times? Pyun does.
- C'on, even I saw that the movie title is misspelled!!!!
- It's only 75 minutes, but I swear it looked like hours to me.
I was one of the few unfortunate that caught this dud in the theaters,and fully agree with your statements.It also looks like it was heavily edited for an R rating,and was probably 20 to 30 minutes longer(lots of dialogue scenes,I figure),and that the budget could only afford one sad killer mutant(who looks like a refugee from Stuart Gordon's Empire Pictures[remember them?!] days.
Steve Pulchaski did the quintessential review of this in a Fangoria video review,with such immortal lines as "Christopher Lambert,call your agent!",and
"trying to sense out what the subtitle here:Fear; of a sequel?,and Rush;to the fast forward button?".
At the end of the film,a Reggie Bannister lookalike audience member commented,"What a complete waste of celluloid!" Best said about this one!
