Could have been great but for the cheese

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 1999)

What could have been a fantastic horror movie was marred by the fact that the film had to follow the "Hollywood Blockbuster" step-by-step guide. If you like a cheesy, not too taxing film, with a flash hero, beautiful girl, 'funny' man, super powerful villain and sad, pitiful side-kick, that follows the age-old good against evil plot, then you'll find this is a must see film. If on the other hand, you're not, then it still is a reasonable film to see with respect to the great effects and a tie-in with one of the great horror classics.
