Reviews:
“It’s obvious that much of the dialogue was looped in after the fact (and was probably all done by the same person). To make matters worse, scenes are repeated again and again in the form of flashbacks and dreams. In fact, without these repeated sequences (and the unnecessary news reports that break up the action every fifteen minutes or so), the flick would’ve easily been about forty-five minutes long.” 1 out of 5, The Video Vacuum
