a terrible movie contain a bevy of d list canadian actor who seem so self conscious about the fact they be on camera that their performance be overly melodramatic and quite forgettable . this film be badly write and badly edit and and badly direct . it be disjoint and incomprehensible and bizarre but not in a good way . mcdowell do a great job with what he be give and but be the only one in this film to do so he really have a bad story and script to work with . it not even camp enough to be funny . i have yet to see van pelleske act in a credible manner and and even the sub character like eisen ( with his nasal and whiny voice ) confirm that we be on a lot in toronto rather than on a barge off africa . didn not the director see that the creature look like a jazz dancer in an alien suit . the fight between the blue bolt of lightning and pelleske orange wisp of amagic ( . for lack of a good word ) and be obviously the result of bad actor and with no choreographer and overlaid with completely derivative special effect . be there even a director on set or in the editing room for this disaster film ( not the good kind ) . learn from the mistake of others . do not even waste your time with this one and you will regret it like i do . i have nothing more to say about this waste of celluloid .
