This film has done interesting ideas about society and your place in it but the last act kind if falls apart and the last two minutes almost made me drop it another star because it makes it seem really terrible and cheesy. For a scary film, it lacks scares just maybe some suspense. More about identity and what that is to people.

Messy, uneven, but oddly enjoyable Psychological thriller/satire from George A Romero that takes jabs at materialism, greed and excessive lifestyles.

A real oddity from George Romero. Part revenge horror, part social satire, it doesn't all work and runs out of steam after an hour, but it's a fascinating film with a clever script and an enjoyably scene-chewing performance from Peter Stormare. It's also a million miles better that Diary or Survival Of The Dead.
