    Uneven and strange just see it if you like the main stars

    This is a strange movie with a super cast. No wonder it isn't famous or didn't do to well despite the talent.

    Mischa Barton at her prettiest, Madeleine Stowe post lip job but still lovely, Jonathan Rhys Meyers at his most way off. What more could you want? A good story. It's a strange mix of thriller horror cult with vampire like blood stuff going on.

    A mother and daughter are on the road but get mixed up in strange cult led by JRM. There are slow moments then some horror and action. It's all rather distasteful and meaningless and the story isn't well written. Things don't really add up to much or come together well.

    Only worth watching if you are want to see the main stars in an obscure movie.
