Review – HorrorVision

Someday I’m going to learn to check for the Full Moon label and make sure it’s not on the box before I rent videos (and apparently even the DVD market isn’t safe from this crud anymore). This appears to be some sort of terrible, low-budget remake of The Matrix; and here “remake” is just about completely synonymous with “rip-off.” Anyone who’s read my review of The Matrix already knows that even a good imitation would be starting off on the wrong foot. This movie takes another step or two in the wrong direction by removing the action sequences and special effects that represented the only tolerable part of the Keanu Reeves version. Additional “benefits” here include acting that wouldn’t pass muster in most high school drama classes and a script bad enough to peel paint off the walls. Wish I’d skipped it
