The massive problem with this movie is that it never comes to a conclusion. Back and forth, back and forth, constantly shifting from one foot to the other. Is it real? Is it hallucination? The movie never decides and leaves the viewer just shrugging their shoulders and moving on to something else. Everything about the movie goes half-way and then quickly retreats to the other side of the fence. Even the ending "explanation" is half-hearted with no real basis of fact. [spoiler] Nobody investigates or explains the bodies in the cesspool. The sounds of human screams in the cavern are dismissed as wind? Really? If it was all hallucinations driven by "mold," why do they continue after Jack is removed from the environment? The back and forth of "should I sleep with her but I love my wife" doesn't play either. I've buried the love of my life and I can tell you that true love never dies and no matter the temptation provided, there is no substitute for your one true love.[/spoiler]

The premise was great, the opportunity for a unique story was wasted and this just ends up being another ho-hum film trying to impress you with it's vagueness and occult connections. With a more mature director and writing staff, this could have been something special. It remains just another also-ran in the Walmart DVD $5 bargain bin.

The handsome but pretty charm-free Adrian Paul (a sort of cross between Colin Farrell and Mel Gibson) is "Jack". He is despatched to a remote desert facility to check up after they lose contact with the outside world. Once he arrives, he encounters "JC" (Kate Nauta) who explains that her boss "Borman" (Anthony Waller) had accidentally released something malevolent during their deep earth excavations that caused them all to turn on each other and now most of them are keeping the freezer compartment warm. He just wants to get the hell out of there but his boss "Kat" (Amanda Douge) urges him to await the police - and yep, you've guessed it - he starts to have hallucinations that lead him to suspect his new-found companion. Just for added value, we also have a wandering Russian scientist in this remotely arid place who just happens to be passing with some gas... Yes, enough already - this is just sci-fi channel nonsense with a C-list cast that really struggles to hold the interest for more than the occasional shower scene. The story is thin, the dialogue thinner and it takes quite a while to go nowhere fast. I really can't think of anything more constructive to write aside from - I wouldn't bother if I were you.
