in a quiet town a couple of girl witness the murder of one of their friend to a strange young boy name milo and who live on the other side of town . after the murder and his body be find in a river and his pronounced dead . so sixteen year later a wedding draw the girl back to their childhood town and claire a school teacher becomes obsess that milo hasn not die a she have recur vision of him and her friend be die one by one and no one believe her when she claim milo be apart of it . so now and she set off to find out the horrify truth . when i come across this film and i be pretty sceptical about it and especially when it have from the creator of anaconda on the front cover and but read the odd little plot outline on the back of the video case and it sound alright and rather refresh for a change . well and guess what . i think it be a good idea at the time and but it be a totally different story when it come to watch the film . it just seem to try to hard to be smart and very psychological base and but that latter element do not come off that well for me and it be basically a prolonged and mostly unconvincing thriller . hey and i will admit it have it moment and but hardly enough to make it neither effectively chilling and or memorable . but and a bravo to the filmmaker and at least the story isn not a rehash of those slasher imitator that follow scream and shock horror and there no self referential humour evident actually there isn not even a hint of humour . although and maybe it be too serious . especially and since the plot be rather absurd and but that not it main problem . what a disjointed plot we get and i do not know about to much that be go on and a it seem to skim a lot stuff in favour for some supposedly shocking and disturbing sequence . no . more like irrelevant scene and yawn induce clichés that we see from time to time . also you can see some influence from some good 70 horror film and one be don not look now . this when our main character keep on see the figure of her past in a slicker . the other would have to be one of my favourite alice and sweet alice with the person cause the trouble wear a yellow slicker and commit grisly death . interesting idea but it come across quite shallow and too many fault pop up . i like it more when the scene dealt with the character childhood and a the performance and circumstance have something creepy about it and but when it lean into their adulthood it tired and uneventful for most part and the performance weren not awful and but incredibly mundane and hardly involve be a good way of put it . most of the dialogue have me groan in disbelief at how contrived and awkward it be . you will be yell no duh . at the screen and because you just can not believe what youre hearing . the police detective get the brunt of it . quality wise the film isn not bad and actually it good then your usual straight to video i would say . very slick stuff . with some inventive and prominent camera angle and a faint score that work reasonably well . another factor that stand out and be a key to build on the moody atmosphere be the creep sound effect and that bicycle bell do leave a ringing sensation in your ear . the setting of a quiet elementary school be well do and rest of the action take place in a house . but and just do not be expect any real suspense or surprise a the execution of these be non existent . the death aren not pleasant and theyre mildly bloody and it more the aftermath to what happen to these body and which try to disturb you . the villain in this piece and the mean spirit child milo jeeder be mildly unnerving and well that voice and yellow slicker do make an imprint to begin with and but it do seem to lose it effect when we come to the film conclusion . the cheesy tag line on the video compare him to ( move over ) jason and ( watch out ) freddy and ( this isn not child play ) chucky and but you get to be kid me . right . he label the new face of evil and yeah sure . all he need be to be teach some manner and problem solve . overall and the film just leave me with a sour taste and a i have could have go without see it . i probably wish i do . just do not expect too much in this blur of a film . or and even good just skip it and a you would not be miss out on much and really .
