Title: Don't Waste Your Time!
Review: In all, this is at best a mediocre afternoon TV movie or a straigt to DVD release. How did the film ever win the awards indicated on the cover? The latter by the way, unlike the flick, looks promising. The film has an innane plot that is banal to the max, pretentious even. The acting is flaky (yes, even Dee Wallace Stone and Udo Kier). There is a russian scientist/doctor who has such an unnatural russian accent, the unwitting may have thought they are watching a monty-python moment, really the segment was a hoot! Note - this film intends to be serious and gripping, not farsical. The special effects are creature of the black lagoon standard and the overall pace is erratic. Why waste resources and make a film like this? Actually, the discerning would have gotten a bad vibe right from the start when the credits appeared. No self-respectable fim maker would have approved the cheesy and annoying static effects, CHEAP!
