for fan of horror flick and this movie might be a nice little surprise if you haven not yet see it . jenny wright play a woman who find that the pair of obscure pulp novel she have be read be begin to cause very real event to happen in her own life and a the crazed doctor at the center of the story begin to enter the real world with the intention of mutilate virginia friend in order to replenish his own miss facial feature . the gory premise allow for some great physical horror and while the actual story be interest enough to keep you watch for more than just the shock . there even some interesting stop motion animation for one of the weirder monster in movie history and jackal boy . on the downside and the film run out of steam after the first two third and deliver a disappointing final act that do not live up to everything that come before it . specifically and the character play by jenny wright suddenly go flat . she start out really interesting and seem intelligent and but toward the end of the movie she whimper and start act really dumb . for instance and why do it take her so long to figure out that the killer will target people she know . one scene where the madman corner virginia in an elevator be particularly laughable because of the botched delivery of the line . consider how strong her early scene be and i suspect jenny wright be direct to act this way and and the film suffers for it . still and this movie have a great look . the set be memorable and even if theyre a little unrealistic ( how could virginia afford such a great apartment if she a book clerk . geez . ) . there a great establish aerial view of virginia noir ish neighborhood and and the act isn not that bad ( except as mention above ) . the graphic violence be also memorable and reminiscent of dawn of the dead in the way that the gore come off a cartoonish instead of realistic . recommend and although be prepare for the film third act fumble .
