Storyline

Contract hitman Jay Mallory works for an unknown organization. He returns to his apartment one day to find his wife, Celandine, gone. Mallory initially thinks that Celandine has left on her own, but soon, believes her disappearance may be associated with his last job. The organization assigns Mallory another job in, England, about which Mallory feels there's something unusual. He's given little information, including not knowing who the target is, and that it too, is associated with Celandine's disappearance. Despite feeling he's being set up, Mallory decides to take the job anyway to see how it plays out, and if it leads him back to Celandine.—Huggo

Short Review

Absolute train wreck. Not that you could have guessed by just looking at the cover of the video... Tries SO hard to be 'Halloween', and ends up one of the most mind-numbing clusterf**ks of all time. Not only is it shot for cents on the dollar, uncreative, horribly scripted and acted, and ludicrously stupid, but its flat out boring. I bought this for 50 cents at a garage sale, and the cover of the DVD has a picture with a guy in a suit, hunched towards the viewer, hands raised with blood dripping from his finger tips. In the background, there is another guy in a flannel lumberjack shirt with a beard, holding a bloody ax. At NO POINT in the film do either one of these characters appear. I'm really at a loss for words to describe this movie. I guess the best one I can think of is 'flabbergasting'.
