Résumés(1)
John Hobbes, un policier d'élite de la brigade criminelle, a pour principe d'assister aux derniers instants de ses clients. C'est ainsi qu'il se rend à l'exécution d'un serial killer, Reese. Avant d'être conduit à la chambre à gaz, celui-ci le surprend en lui proposant une énigme et en se livrant à des invocations dans une langue étrangère. Quelques heures plus tard, Hobbes est réveillé par un étrange appel. (texte officiel du distributeur)

A tragically squandered opportunity for a superb mysterious thriller. The premise of an evil being that jumps from one person to another by touch is very interesting in itself (maybe because it reminded me of a film from my childhood), but here it’s unfortunately smothered by the typical horror garb of the 1990s, where every original idea is followed by twenty clichés. Hoblit and Washington show their chops, but the problem is in the script. 4/10

It’s no surprise that I know absolutely nothing about this film. In the opening credits, the premise makes it look like a weaker version of the movie Seven (which is actually a word of praise for the movie), but that’s only a very weak conjecture formed during the first couple of minutes. What follows is a mixture of all the bad things that the 1990s had to offer in film and what never brought the movies any success. A very forgettable movie.
