This modest combination of 50's sci-fi / horror goes onto deliver a undervalued oddity, with a tip-top ensemble cast and sure-handling from dual directors Jeffrey Obrow and Stephen Carpenter. I thought I've seen this one before, but I was wrong. They eventually discover more then what they bargain for, as some of his mother's genetic engineered creations run amok. He heads there with his girlfriend, some work colleagues and one of his mother's admirers. To destroy her life experiments and any information found in her secluded old house. I would like to see this movie again someday as it has been awhile since I last saw it, but from what I remember not the best movie in the world, but it kept me entertained.Īfter three years in a coma, Amanda Hollins awakens and tells her son, John. Still the monsters look pretty good and there are some rather good kills, the plot is rather ignored after a certain point, but with death and mayhem I can live without plot. Though I do love the setting of the old house and the basement stuff, the movie kind of reminds me of a combination of two Stuart Gordon movies "Re-animator" and "From Beyond" without being as good as either of them. Surprisingly when you write it out it does sound like a good plot and maybe it is not all that bad, but for the most part once they arrive at the house the film becomes your typical horror movie about monsters. So the son is off along with some science type friends to look into the mystery's surrounding his mother's request. The story has a son trying to fulfill his mother's wish of destroying her life's work at the home she used to live with, she had just woken from a coma. It is a "b" movie to be sure, but a somewhat good "b" movie as it were. So do not try to analyze it, or figure out what is wrong with the picture. What happens after this - if Negan is accepted by the survivors and not jailed once again - remains to be seen, but for now, Carol's plan to get revenge on Alpha while simultaneously disrupting the Whisperers from within has succeeded.One of the secrets is that the film does not have all that much of a plot to it. Negan kills Alpha in the comics, but in the TV series, he does it for Carol, who charged him with the task. Magna has since returned, but Connie is still missing - and it may be a while before she reappears.Įven from the beginning, The Walking Dead comics and TV show have been different, both following the same rough path but getting there in alternate ways. A lot of people almost died in Alpha's cave, but most of them got out. It would've been a clean way to defeat the Whisperers from the inside out - but while one part of the plan worked without a hitch, the other part resulted in multiple casualties. And Carol knew he was the right person for the job, considering his charm.Ĭarol had a multi-pronged plan: have Negan infiltrate the Whisperers and kill Alpha while she searches for the horde with some members of Alexandria and Hilltop. But in order for everyone else to believe he's changed, he needed to convince someone like Carol who remembers fighting him and the Saviors all those years ago. He even tried to save the mother and son that Brandon killed. While he may fondly remember being in charge of an organization like the Saviors, he doesn't seem to miss killing people. Negan has been trying to prove that he's not the person he once was. Getting her there took time and a lot of convincing on his part he had to, essentially, join the Whisperers by helping them in their attack on Hilltop. He did just that in "Walk With Us" by luring Alpha to a shack that he pretended to have Lydia held up inside. It seems that in The Walking Dead season 10, episode 4, "Silence the Whisperers", Carol let Negan out and gave him a path to redemption: kill Alpha and deliver her head to Carol.

While it seems that everything Carol does backfires on her, she's much smarter than her friends are giving her credit for this season. So when Negan escaped from his prison cell, which viewers believed was because of Brandon, Carol used it as an opportunity to find the Whisperers' horde they ultimately did and it may have cost Connie her life if she never shows up again. Once everything was taken away from her, she put everyone else in danger by being consumed by her quest to kill Alpha.
