Yes this is one of those forgetful movies that has perhaps
one or two moments you might recall after seeing it but for the most part is
pretty forgettable. There are many movies like this released each year and its
sad to think someone worked hard to get a movie made that falls into this
category but it happens. I will say that there was enough creativity on display
in this film that maybe down the road those behind it will come up with
something better.
The story moves back and forth in time but essentially boils
down to this. We have a young newlywed couple, Mark and Lesley, happy and in
love but with a terrible set of neighbors. The neighbors constantly fight and
the guy seems to enjoy beating his wife which causes Mark to step in between
the two of them and break up a battle. Never a good thing.
The result of Mark's interference is that the neighbor shows
up to his house one day and while threatening Lesley accidentally kills her.
Mark finds her body and mourns her loss but her father has other plans. He
shows with Lesley's brother and along with Mark, they take her to a strange
trailer located out in the middle of the desert. Here a fast talking mysterious
stranger named Gus who takes the trio and corpse into his home. He warns them
that they can't come back ever again and that whatever happens happens. No take
backs. That should make people pause but then again this is a movie.
Of course he brings Lesley back from the dead but at what
costs? When things begin to get a little strange they eventually head back to
the desert and confront Gus and have him fix whatever is wrong. Hey wait;
didn't he say no take backs?
As with most movies where the dead are brought back to life
by those who love them they never quite come back the same way. Nothing new
here. But there are some nice touches to the film that just never quite makes
its way into making it one worth watching. Low budget film making that shows it
but as I said, the potential in those involved can be glimpsed but never to the
point of making the film entertaining.
