Were that many people in need of quick cash? **Slight Spoilers**

This movie was completely disappointing, ridiculous, and pointless. The acting, and I use that term loosely, was not even good enough to be labeled amateur. These were zombies with scripts moving their mouths and making sounds. The premise was ludicrous, start with the reality show, mix in a generous helping of Survivor, add some desperate actors and writers, add heaping tablespoons of cheesy special effects and completely plastic looking scenery, slowly whisk in some type of hallucinogenic, put on film, edit for two seconds, and serve tepid.

I am a Michael Dudikoff fan, but this was almost enough to change me. (I said almost!) His "bad guy" was as menacing as a 2 day old kitten. Treat Williams' performance was comatose at best. He made it painfully obvious that he was not happy to be in this fiasco. Had he have had any less enthusiasm he would have been sleeping throughout the film with a sign in his hand reading "This piece of crap is not my idea. Please forgive me!" Tim Thomerson. I have learned the hard way that when a movie displays this name in the opening credits, it is meant to serve as a warning, "This is your last chance to run like hell." Tim Thomerson is quickly becoming associated with pitiful, misdirected, farfetched, and downright horrible B movies, at least in my psyche anyway.

Unless you are completely bored with no alternative for cerebral stimulation, do not under any circumstances watch this movie. If you like Treat Williams or Michael Dudikoff, they have better, much better films out there. This one should be recalled and destroyed!
