Plot 411: A new sheriff in Louisiana is welcomed into town by several dead bodies and must find out who or what killed them.
Review: Kyle (Matthew Le Nevez), a city slicker from up north, comes to a sleepy little town in Louisiana to take a position as the town's new sheriff. One of his first calls is to an oil-drilling plant run where locals are protesting the drilling and harm that it causes the environment. The surrounding area is sacred to the local Native American tribes. Several unexplained deaths are happening in the area, and Kyle must find out if it is by renegade Rene LaRoque (Steve Bastoni) as some people imply. The bodies show up with unexplained vegetation growing from within them. Deputy Fraser (Alex O'Loughlin) hints that it may be due to some religious mumbo jumbo that is practiced by many people in the area. This is definitely one of those straight-to-dvd-type movies. Everything is pretty much bad unless you go into it with exceptionally low standards. What makes it worse is that the movie doesn't even know it's bad. It takes itself completely seriously the entire time, trying to weave a sci-fi horror flick out of nothing. The dialogue is especially bad, and the relationships between characters aren't really believable. I mean, after two brief exchanges, a love affair starts. Please. I don't know who the film makers think they're fooling with that. Not every show needs to have a romance evolve during a crisis.
Watch It: Because every once in a while you need to see a grade B monster flick and laugh at it.
Skip It: Because it really is pretty horrible.
