An excellent made for TV show. Way above the norm.

This was a great little series. All the acting was top notch, not a single weak link.The special effects were adequate for a TV movie, ranging from pretty good to just short of great.

The story was fantastic, very original and sometimes down right creepy, especially Lou Diamond Phillips character. All the story lines tied nicely into a pretty exciting climax and a satisfying conclusion.

If TV was this good all the time i would subscribe to cable, sadly this is more of a exception then a rule, so I now own it on DVD.The DVD has a "making of" featurette that was enjoyable too.

Definitely worth watching if you are a SIFI fan.
