Mike, desperate for 50 grand, to pay back his debts, opts instead to do a favor for the eccentric billionaire that he's indebted to that revolves around Mike and his brother performing a ritual that unleashes the demonic 'shadow people'

The film started of interesting but I felt my interest waning just around the time that the four 'teenagers' enter said house. I just felt that the two brothers were a tad more interesting, as they weren't the stereotypes that the teens are. The film does lucky pick up again somewhat and I didn't actively dislike it (something that can't be said for some of the other films in the box-set. And it kept my interests. Pretty much the only huge gripe I have is the director putting his name in the title, just seemed a tad pretentious.

This film starts with a "Not rated" warning. They need not have bothered. Unless the American rating system is so strict that Disney films would struggle to pass the board in a rated version !!!! If this was to play the UK, this would be 15 rated tops. Gore is minimum and there is nothing else that I believe would warrant this being "not rated".

"What's it about?" I hear you cry. Two brothers go to a house at the request of a billionaire to settle $50,000 gambling debt. They need to unleash the shadow people by performing a Satanic ritual. It is not long before the Shadow People are on the loose. They are soon joined by four "teens" all must fight for survival.

Not a total stinker, some of the effects of the shadow people were nice and whenever they were on screen there was an air of menace. However they could have done with more screen time. Acting was OK, and there is a bit of gore. There is endless talking and it seems to take an age to get anywhere.

An OK effort on a very low budget
