Mick Garris directs Brian Krause, Mädchen Amick and Alice Krige in this teen horror about Egyptian soul sucking monsters searching small town America for a virgin to devour while avoiding cats. 

Containing every cliche you’d expect from a quickie Stephen King movie with the notable exception of a decent scare. A weird mix of Enya, incest and OTT gore this is all smirk and no focus. Making Krause’s flat,  unlikeable teen freak the jokey protagonist when he clearly is the villain, while the quirkier, sexier Amick and Krige are often sidelined is an unforgivable sin. A heroic cat saves the day narratively but this is far too sloppy to be salvaged.
