A dandy Halloween feature with a good needle-in-the-butt jump every five minutes or so

Affleck, you weren't the bomb in Phantoms, yo. But Rose McGowan is hot.

Quickly degenerates from X-Files to Baywatch Nights once the culprit is ultimately revealed.

O roteiro é absolutamente ridículo e jamais consegue explicar exatamente que coisa é aquela que se transforma nas pessoas. Affleck deveria sentir vergonha de se submeter a isso, e O’Toole tenta manter a dignidade como pode.

Rose McGowan continues her habit of appearing in worthless movies.
