Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

Wow, this was bad. And not bad in a "Hard Rock Zombies" kind of way, but bad in a "wow...this is dull" kind of way. The cast, consisting of usually enjoyable performers, is given nothing to work with here. All of the best elements to the Koontz novel are changed or left out. Alicia Silverstone just kind of mumbles her way through the flick, Jeff Goldblum doesn't get to play his usually fun type of character, the usual humor he brings to his roles is sorely missed, Alfred Molina gets what is basically an extended cameo walking around looking upset during his total of 7 minutes of screentime, and Christine Lahti's character is so different from the character in the Koontz novel, you hate to see her wasted here. Jeremy Sisto is the only bright spot, but even he can't do much with what he is given in the lousy script.
The special effects are awful!! Who knew that when we enter the afterlife we are basically cigarette smoke with a face? The computer animation is laughable, Heaven & Hell never looked so boring! Just avoid this sucker, and read the (while not great, but at least enjoyable) Koontz novel instead.

Once Earache merged with Sony (Columbia) Godflesh got the chance to do soundtracks. In 1995, they appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Hideaway. They also appear in the movie itself. During one of the club scenes, they are playing onstage in the background, performing the song Nihil. - Godflesh "Cold World" /Rare Import (CD single) *(not available in any other format).
