Plot summary

Having just been fired and dumped by his wife, life couldn't possibly be worse for independent artist Gordon Hauge (Mark Redfield)—until he wrecks his car and finds himself in purgatory, that is. Once there, he is attacked by fanatic Shadowmen and legions of Ragmen—souls being enslaved and bent to some dark purpose. Gordon is rescued by an eccentric band of freedom fighters, people from different times of history who lost their lives in noble sacrifice. They recruit the reluctant and befuddled Gordon and set off on a wild adventure through the surreal landscapes of purgatory to battle the Despiser—an evil being who now reigns in this seemingly God-abandoned halfway house north of hell and south of heaven.

"What Dreams May Come" meets "Robot Bastard"?

No, the effects are not "stylized." Stylized means you did it on purpose. Having effects that look like they were made in Lightwave on an Amiga is likely NOT intentional.That said, I was cringing going into this movie, but found it hard to hate it. The villains have about as much depth as your typical Disney villain, and the cowboy and kamikaze characters are so hackneyed I wanted to punch them, but apart from that, it's not terrible.

Horrible, but endearing

The absolute best kind of terrible.

If this film were mediocre, it would be boring. Thank god it's really, really bad! It's the kind of bad movie where every detail invites you to wonder how the decisions that resulted in what you're watching got made. Who thought it was a good idea to set most of the movie in virtual sets that look like PS1 cutscenes? Who thought we were going to root for a protagonist who doesn't do his job, doesn't provide for his wife, and doesn't see anything wrong with driving drunk? Who thought we wouldn't notice or care about the glaring inconsistencies between where he dies and where he resurrects? This movie fails spectacularly to meet its own ambitions, but those ambitions are just so bizarre that they're mesmerizing. You won't walk away thinking you just watched a great movie, but you'll be glued to the screen while it's on!
