Only the worst low budget flicks go straight to video , this movie would have died the first night of release it would have been a 000 on arrival.

What a train wreck….

Doesn’t look as bad as I expected, but from the trailer I’d say that it’s still definitely nowhere near the original, the cast, effects, the rigs (KME pumper,…).

Filmed in Romania and supposedly Toronto and Chicago though no one seems to know where or when it was filmed here.. Straight to video means no one thinks it is worth the time and effort to put into theaters.. tells you right there how good it will be..
