Cronenberg is INCREDIBLE as an actor. He could have had a Polanski-like second career. But no, he was one of like five ridiculous sub-plots. (The lead actors had zero charisma.) The crazy police chief was great too.

PROTIP: Follow Clive Barker on Twitter for his cocaine-and-self-pity fueled egomania tirades, and if you're lucky, he might start flirting with you by text.
The only good part of this movie was David Cronenberg and they barely used him. I always hoped the ending was suggesting that he was going to get his own movie, but no...
