    • Trivia
      Elliott Spiers was already gravely ill when the film entered in post-production so another actor was required to read his lines and dub his voice. When the movie was finally presented in 1994 shortly after his death, it was dedicated to his memory.

    one of the first weird movies ive ever watched
    All i can say that this movie was so weird that even today i remember the paralel-dimension scenes, the weird animation scenes and the fact the movie feels like you are walking into another paralel dimension, because is too well photographe and directed.the influence this movie have in the kind of movies i like is enough that, let just say, since this movie i love when a grounded in reality movie with real people and real places, then in the middle becomes a sci-fi and the people start reacting and doing things that look grounded, but in another time or space.

    The first time was cinemax, afternoon, and was because looked so classic and then started the sci-fi and i love when a movie does that.

    Dont show me a new world, show me real people into another world at the middle of the movie and will be great, like deja vu, tenet, back to the future, looper, etc if i was a director, i would like this kind of movie to direct at some point.
