In a small Washington town, church from the 18th century burns down, releasing a trapped parasite. The parasite infests a fireman who had the bad luck to fall down at the scene. The parasite induces the host to connect with other people. The parasite kills the host and travels to the next.The sheriff is Jesse's uncle, and Scott is recently out of prison. Even worse, the uncle framed Scott's father with the crimes that sent him to prison. Scott and Jesse have to research the parasite and stop it.Will Scott and Jesse stop this public hazard? Will either of them survive? Will the endless sequence of belches ever end?-----Scores-----Cinematography: 8/10 Good looking except for a regular smidgen of shaky cam.Sound: 6/10 Music was used to no effect.Acting: 0/10 Terrible. No competent actors, and the direction seemed to be just as weak.Screenplay: 2/10 Not much of a story, badly told, with absurd dialog and wobbly logic. The actors did not have much to work with. The clichés at the end did not help.

Bad boy Scott (Nic Rhind) is longing to get out of his small hometown and is about to rekindle his relationship with Jesse despite going out with a young blond floozy. Said slut is also cheating on Scott with a firefighter whom also has been infected by some supernatural creature that has been lying dormant in the basement of the local church. Much like "The Hidden" (a far and away superior film to this one in every way, shape, and form), the creature has to hop from body to body in order to survive.This movie pretty much epitomizes the word 'cliche'. Boy from the wrong side of the tracks? Check Unrequiteled love between said bad boy and the daughter of a sheriff? Double Check. The plot is hugely uninspired and the acting doesn't fare any better. And while it may be technically true that this movie is better then the previous one by Writer/Director Jonas Quastel. That's only because that one was "Ripper 2: Letters From Within" which was complete and utter crap. This one is merely derivative and worthless.My Grade: D Lionsgate DVD Extras: Trailer for this movie; and trailers for The Gene Generation, Fist of the Warrior, Rise of the Footsoldiers

This movie takes the typical small town where the misunderstood kid from the wrong side of the tracks is blamed for a series of murders actually caused by an ancient creature that was soaked in a bottle of wine for 130 years and buried under a church. (Gee, why isn't the nice, clean-cut, churchgoing valedictorian ever the hero of a film like this? No, no, it's going to be the kid destined to a petty criminal record and menial jobs for the rest of his life!) The performances had some funny moments, like when the leading lady had to get the current host of the creature to go with her, she said "I'm going to sleep with the fattest ugliest guy in the bar." Yup, prejudice against the overweight is the last acceptable bigotry in PC America.Of course, you have to check your logic at the door, such as if the Church has special investigators who hunt these things and have had for centuries, how did they miss this one when it was secretly buried IN A CHURCH! The other bit of illogic is that each host is attacked, apparently doesn't remember having a nasty worm like alien enter their body, and never think to seek medical help when their bodies start giving out on them. "Gee, a big chunk of my forehead just popped off, maybe I should see someone about that!"

Ancient evil (a CGI tentacled thing) is woken up after the fire in a small town church and goes on a rampage. Can the no good kid with a heart of gold just back to see the poor little rich girl save the day? Unremarkable horror film is simply to unremarkable to be much of anything.(and yes I know I've repeated myself but there isn't much else to say) Not really bad its not really good its just sort of there and generates very little interest thanks to an over reliance on what is clearly computer generated effects and plot that has been done to death over the last bunch of years. The real scourge here is that this is more a time waster then anything.
