Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

mergatroid-1 I like Bill Cobbs. I have enjoyed him in everything I have seen him in and have no doubt about his acting skills whatsoever.In this movie he plays a country doctor who stumbles on an ancient document that tells how some monks who made a monastery in the middle of nowhere were assisted by drinking this herbal concoction every day. Over the years the Doctor manages to perfect the liquid until he can use it to improve his strength and that of his sick wife. Unfortunately it is not a fountain of youth but merely keeps him healthy and unusually strong for a man of any age.Two young men just graduating from Med school come to town. One of them used to live in the town and goes to visit the doctor, bringing his friend. They learn of the doctors discovery and try and take it for themselves.This could have been a great movie but the pacing was so slow I had to fast forward through some parts because I was getting bored. If they had of increased the pace, and maybe improved the ending it could have been a very good movie.

reeves2002 First off I want to say don't listen to what "kingdio" said about this movie."kingdio,you had no right calling someone an idiot for liking this movie and then saying they must be deaf and stupid". Not everyone will like this movie that's true but other's will enjoy it. I enjoyed this movie.I liked the slow buildup of the story as the deranged Doctor Green (played perfectly by Bill Cobbs) explains to his visitor's how a potion he created out of snake venom gave him superhuman strength while a storm was raging outside.I liked how Doc Green,Cameron and Willy all sat around his house drinking beer while each had their own motives.It was funny watching Cameron(played by Alex Feldman)trying to manipulate the doctor by getting him drunk.And good acting by new comer Jason Scott Campbell also who played Willy.This is the type of movie where you have to pay attention to the detail of what was being said. The part I didn't like was how the wife ended up turning into a monster.I was expecting their young son Nathan to show up instead,especially after the doctor mentioned that his dead son visits him when it's dark and he fed the boy candy.You never do see the boy other then his grave and I did not understand what all the candy wrappers were for.What the hell was the Doctor doing with all the candy.I think the story would haver been better if the doctor had his son hidden in an upstairs bedroom of his home instead of the wife.It would have been more creepy to see a kid transformed into some kind of a creature because of his father's cruel experiments.I did not understand the connection between the candy wrappers and his wife.The ending was what I didn't like because it doesn't really end like others said.It ends right in the middle of a part of the story in a hospital room.If there is going to be a sequel then I can understand it, but to leave it the way it was does nothing for it and is very amateur.It is a sad way to end a well acted movie.

kingdio The other reviewers are right. Horrible acting, horrible direction, and a half-witted story line make this one of the worst movies I ever rented. The movie is amateurish at best, and you're sure to find better films on youtube.com. They must've had like a 1,000 dollar budget. And it all went to Cobbs. I thought that little picture on the cover was for some independent film award, but it's obviously recognition for longest home video. It's not scary, nor suspenseful. It's actually an embarrassment to all movies that don't suck this much. My only question is this: Who is that idiot that gave it a good review? He must be blind, deaf AND stupid.

ineedthebeach2 This movie was not only scary, but well executed. BIll Cobbs, Alex Feldman, and Jason Scott Campbell's chemistry added to making the whole story truly believable. Subtle hints throughout the movie explain the outcome of the movie, but of course, many of them are missed until you go back and think about what has happened. There were also some comedic scenes, such as in the bar, and the cocky behavior of Alex, (one of the medical students), as well as the conversations among the bar patrons, that will make you chuckle. The patrons in the sleepy little town where the movie was filmed, seems to be stuck in the seventies... or perhaps, its just small town America. The two college students are certainly a rude awakening to what America has become. A society with its main focus on money, success and greed. You will be taken by surprise as the events of this movie unfold. The story is well crafted and intriguing. Bill Cobbs is at his best!
