- TriviaMovie originally had different ending which instead in sewers took place in some warehouse and was lot less action packed. Following the successful test screening producers gave the filmmakers some money and short amount of time to film the new, more exciting ending and to add sequel bait last shot because they already planned to do sequels. Not much is know about original ending or if it still exists, but there are many stills showing parts of it.

Featured review
It bills itself as a horror/supernatural/possession movie, but it feels much more like an 80's style action movie with a detective chasing a criminal who happens to have supernatural powers.
I'll be the first to admit this one is dumb. It's filled with contradictions. It breaks its own rules. It's not for the thinking man. However, if you manage to turn your brain off and just enjoy the ride, this one is a lot of fun. Lots of fun action sequences!
Jeff Kober is a real highlight! He makes a great bad guy and has a blast with the role. The other actors are more hit or miss.
At the end of the day, I have to recommend this one even if many people won't like it. It's worth a try!
