Lesley-Anne Down is not a good actress, at least not here.
Great premise in this movie. But they ruined it with bad acting and a script that depended on extrasensory nonsense.
THe basic idea that nomadic people were not really humans at all is a great premise. But the movie did not live up to this premise.

Agreed on both points!
The acting really started to grate on my nerves. Not only was I unconvinced by all their hysterics, but it went on and on and on and...
**SPOILER ALERT**
I had figured out that the Nomads were extending an invitation to join them halfway through the film. All the "terror" the protagonists had experienced could have been ended by just confronting the Nomads and finding out what they wanted. But, to do this would have ended the movie too soon and so that's where the bad script writing came into place. There just wasn't enough material to justify a 90 minute movie!
If you love and support Michael Jackson 100%, copy & paste this into your signature. We love MJ!
i think one of the problems is that the ghosts had no speaking lines and all their scenes were shot like a glam music video. hence they come off as flat and cheesy. i didn't get any terror or ambivelance, which i imagine there should have been, as certain segments seem to try and portray pierce teetiring giddily over to their edge of madness (he "kills" a man and then caps it off flexing nude and screwing the wife). instead his jump/backflip comes off more as an unconvincing special effect. then again, who doesn't want to see pierce in a motor cycle gang? now THAT would be a movie. sequel?
