hightide

A film full of surprises... Daring... One of the biggest shockers you are ever going to see. And I dont mean the ending; I mean the mother-daughter relationship. The best thing Mimi and Will have ever done! Patrick Bauchau, Carole Davis, Mulder... The friggin apocalypse is staged so simply and imaginatively...

With direct to video, you always have lowered expectations. So this one really grabs you. Good to see Michael Rooker playing a Good Guy. Thats part of what works. He has that capacity to turn evil at any moment. An as-kicking, devil-whomping priest!

Again with this type of movie you don't expect the best special effects, you have to appreciate the sense that people cared enough about this story to do it as well as they did it on a button buget.

For a button budget, the imagination really shows. Great B casting, great B acting. Very colorful characters, every looks like they're having fun. One of my favorites for this genre. The DVD even has a Filmmakers commentary. The 2nd one, while not nearly as tight clever, does have Deborah Shelton go topless.
