Warning: Spoilers
After having gone to the amazing two day horror festival Foree Fest,i went round trying to find other films that Ken Foree has been in,and while this film is not up their with the classic horror film Foree gas been in)Dawn of the Dead and The Devils Rejecks)This is still a very enjoyable thriller/horror B-Movie.

The plot: Ome of the main investors of a very successful gym/spa Michael(who's wife had killed herself in a very strange way,)girlfriend is at the spa,and she ends up getting very badly burnt.And as other people star to get hurt,Michael starts to think that the spas big brother-style computer system is being tamped with,and he thinks that the person doing this is the brother of his deceased wife.But he starts to find out that his wife is not happy,that he did not die with her..

View on the Film: The screenplay:The screenplay is by James Bartruff and Mich Paradise and it seems to be stuck in choosing what type of film it should be,in that the big brother part of the film is really interesting,due to how much we depend on computers now,but the film fails when it turns into another post-Friday the 13th style slasher.(thought the ribs and the fish deaths are great fun)But the rest of the deaths just really drain the clever side of the story.

Final view on the film: A really enjoyable film,thats stuck between being a B-horror movie and a pretty clever thriller.
