This will either be a cult classic or the worst movie ever made. I can't imagine any possibility in between.

Also, it appears to be a wholesale ripoff of an old X-Files episode: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0751183/?ref_=ttep_ep17

The casting here is a problem. That guy doesn't have the eyes for it. They took the wrong lessons from "Pusher."

William Fichtner is honestly the only reason I'm considering watching the movie.

This was a mess and I enjoyed watching it. Also it seems that Rodriguez's production company iz now Double R instead of Troublemaker - which makes me wonder if Troublemaker was an imprint/branch of Dimension that no longer exists.

Anyway this iz B Movie nonsense. Fun with friends, the kind of movie that plays itself straight so hard it feelz like genre parody.
