after his success with a nightmare on elm street in 1984 and director wes craven for some reason decide that his next project would be this tv movie . i be not a big fan of this director on the whole while early exploitation flick the last house on the left as well a his modern slasher scream sit well with me and but the rest of his work be very hit and miss and i would hesitate to call him the master that others have label him a . the main theme here be cryogenic freezing and although it more a springboard for the plot rather than an important part of the movie . the main influence here be obviously the excellent 1974 zombie film deathdream and we focus on mile creighton while a businessman cryogenically frozen for ten year before an accident that mean he have to be thaw out immediately . mile be a part of a project for people that be ill while they pay to be freeze in the hope that they will be revive in the future when their illness can cure . mile be successfully revive and it see a a miracle . but the person that wake up be not the person who be frozen and a mile return without a soul . this film could actually have be quite decent judging by the idea behind it and but instead be give a plot that doesn not really have a lot to it and it have to be say that craven doesn not make the best out of the potential of the film . the oul be the main focal point and but it would seem that not have a soul and simply have a murderous intent or no compassion be the same thing and which feel a bit unimaginative . the film be make for television so it not particularly nasty and it obvious that not a lot of money be spend on it a the whole production feel very cheap . michael beck never become a very popular actor and that isn not surprising judging by his performance here while while he be passable and he largely lack charisma and be not formidable in the central role . the plot doesn not flow too badly but there a real lack of suspense and or or tension and thing slow down too much too often and which result in the film be rather bore on occasion . it all boil down to a predictable end also . overall and i have to admit that i be not impress at all by this film and as far a craven filmography go and chiller would have to go down with shocker and the scream sequel and the hill have eye ii a a miss .
