    A must see for those who thought battlefield earth was bad...

    So I thought, hey nice artwork, must be a bomb. I was right and I give Cage all the chances in the world because he's amazing. This is a sparkling turd from the acting partially but at times it is indie awesome and worth watching ergo 5/10. The camera work and lighting is as junior amateur as you can get, and the dialog is painfully cold read at times. The idea is not new but not bad in itself. The placement and use of sex everywhere is ok, but I don't need to see Cage and Run Lola Run bang that much with tv news anchor lighting. Silhouettes, in and out of focus, not just bangbros like footage.

    The nuttiness that is cage shines in points here, but even he thinks "wtf is this line it is so bad and dry or my scene partner isn't there yet..." so I have to advise you to watch this and maybe jump a little through it if you can and enjoy the sparking turd for what it is. A new level of "oh no this was bad but I can't press STOP".

    Mmm...

    The story follows Cage, a down-on-his-luck movie actor haunted by the memory of his deceased career. He meets Julie, a spiritually gifted movie producer who enlists Cage in a desperate effort to find the lost profits of her comatose studio. But the spirit of Cage's dead career proves stronger, possessing the young woman's film budget and determined to sabotage her unfinished movie with the straight-to-DVD curse.

    5/10 So bad it's entertaining.

    5 minutes in and I was hooked by how awful it was.

    Was it awful on purpose or by accident? It was like watching a car wreck - mesmerized by how bad it was. Join me please in properly rating this at 1.

    HBO TV Movie?

    I stopped watching when I realized it was more about sex, than anything else. "Soft Porn" describes this movie. Its something you would expect to see on Cinamax, or HBO late night early morning.

    So, if you like that sort if thing, then it's great. If not, find something else to watch.

    Ghosts of Direct to Video Horror

    It's truly an incoherent mess with a haunted Lolita theme going on. Cage proves he's willing to take on a role in any video as long as he gets to be the lead and show off his bizarre facial expressions and suffering emotions. If you're into seeing a scruffy hobo Nick running around the house in tight underwear, and behaving like a sexually frustrated redneck trucker, high on crack and bourbon, then this is the movie for you. It's a surreal experience.
