There is nothing imaginary about how bad a misfire this movie is even for the Blumhouse base.

As a sci-fi thriller, it does not disappoint but neither does it go above or beyond what one might reasonably expect based on the trailer.

This is an American tragedy. Although the participants may be famous, the demons they fight in their intimate moments are familiar and relatable.

As an action-adventure film, this one is adequate but there is a sense that the production should be more special than “adequate.”

The film piques the intellect and feeds the bloodlust while offering an experience that only a Cronenberg can deliver.

Scratches a particular Valentine’s Day itch in that it provides a dollop of romance to go along with a few laughs.

There’s a depressing predictability to nearly all the action scenes that saps tension and encourages boredom.
