Based on a shitty novel by Dean Koontz, this horror thriller features an all star cast and little else. The story is bland and derivative. Like every other Invasion of the Body Snatchers or alien takeover movie, there is not a single thing this one tries to do differently.

Peter O’Toole, Ben Affleck, Rose McGowan, and Liev Schreiber are the A-ish list cast that really holds this thing together. Actually, they are equivalent to popsicle sticks.

It starts out mysterious and that is interesting for maybe 10 minutes. The scares are pretty obvious and mostly just jump scares. There is a bit of atmospheric eeriness, but it doesn’t really build the suspense like some others have.

I will say that Liev Schrieber was entertaining as one of the sheriff deputies. All you really need to know is that Ben Affleck’s character is named Bryce…
