Stranger things have happened

My review of this title will be short and to the point.

I agree with other reviewers in the sense that the screenplay...

really could have benefited...

from a little more development and thought.

Where I disagree is that I still found it to be a film...

worth watching and interesting enough to hold my attention.

In a time of cookie cutter... element reproduction, this film is at the very least unique and that is a big plus in my book.

Also Ron Perlman did a great job as usual.

On a Side note The IMDb requirement that A review must contain at least 10 Lines is bologna :)
