There is this one character and in every scene he has, yes, every scene, every single one....I mean that... he is taking his visor style hat off or putting it on again. Often multiple times in same scene. OK, I misled you a little. Not every scene off and on. In a few he is just touching it or repositioning it. But every scene the hat is involved.Quite astonishing. You would think the Director would notice.Or at least the stupid actor who should be thinking, erm, 'this is dumb'.Watch and have a laugh. But made it unwatchable for me.

Was hoping a few years back that this new Company Asylum was to be a sort of new Hammer Films, for the LA underground scene of the new Millennium: but after watching a few movies, i quickly realized how pedestrian, amateur, and vulgar these non films are! There's virtually no redeeming virtue,no attempt to make anything at least with some visual style or interesting innovative take! It is just a land of despair, where all actors desperately trying to make a living are exploited in characters without any development, the supporting cast is made by stunt players or,if by any chance,there was anybody good (like in another film,called "Countdown:Jerusalem", so bad and convoluted,to make hardly any sense at all,and, where, had sadly noticed that while, most supporting roles were given to experienced actors virtually set up to failure, almost mocked by having to portray with their usual professional intensity,non roles,the leads,instead, were played by some people who looked honestly had never even acted before,or, most likely never even thought to pursue acting at all!) you can be sure they'd almost hide her/his presence, since it seems that any artistic requirement in this new type of filmmaking, is to be bashed and condemned! Art direction,Costumes and especially make up are normally also so wildly bad,ridiculous and just so wrong, that even an Ed Wood movie,by comparison, could get Awards,next to this ugly boredom. I must say that if anybody deserves praise,here, then i should mention the Editors of these 'so called features', since it is obvious they work with material that looks less inspiring than 7 days old garbage, and still always try to cut it with some professional talent, in order to avoid complete disaster! Why making films like this? I hear there are so many talented filmmakers out there, unemployed, and yet, the once fun Sy/Fy Channel, now has decided to give most of their production to this inept,lazy, vulgar Film Company, that gives a bad name to Genre films,and just during a time when such movies had just been rediscovered from the past, and brought back with a new sense of style and creativity by a few interesting new independent directors, who strive instead to get funded. It's insulting to watch such ridiculous nonsense, sad to see money spent this bad, and worrying to think major cable channels have deals to make more of this Z grade standard degraded 'cinema'! Do yourself a favor and spend some money in some older&greater Euro B exploitation flick's in DVD, or in some American campy ones from 20/30 years ago, but leave this deconstructive crap alone! Avoid the massacre of what was once called adventurous filmmaking! There's nothing adventurous here, just desolation.

After watching this movie, I had to critique it, because thats what I like to do. The screenwriter could have built in some more character development, up dating it more than the book and previous movie attempt. Some of the dialog seemed written by elementary school kids. Nevermind that last comment, elementary school children could have been more creative. The acting was as believable as a high school play. Scratch that too! My sons acting was better in his 5th grade play. Now the biggie...the CGI was equal to the effects of the 1974 version of this move. With that said, why couldn't it have been better? Remake the movie with Jason Statham as Frost, Brad Pitt as Cole Stevens and Megan Fox as Lindsey Stevens. Get the people who did Jurassic Park to do the CGI and the producer, screen writer and director from Transformers. That might be a good example of improvements, but don't let that Avitar guy get his hands on it...as it will be over-rated and almost as lousy.
