Welcome to Super Serious Filmfest, our theme series of movie reviews.

This season covers the best and the worst of Nick Cage, the summer and winter of his career.

And what we're calling, Season of the cage. All right, you said something right before we turn into cameras that I laughed that

loud at, which I said, man, what's to say?

This is a terrible movie that doesn't work on hardly any level and you said I don't know if it's a terrible movie?

How do you not know that it's a terrible movie? Here's the thing I think if you take Nicholas Cage out of this movie, it instantly

becomes a better movie, but also completely forgettable at the same time.

Because I don't think by the standards of the time that this is an awfully bad movie.

Really?

I think the music holds up.

I think the basic premise is there.

But yeah, I did not find this to be a particularly poorly made movie or a badly written movie. I think it was sabotage by Nick Cage and the cast of characters around him which are forced to interact with a lunatic.

I'm a vampire!

I'm a vampire!

I'm a vampire a vampire

because I think you said I think you're right that

but no I think you're wrong I think Nick Cage

Nick Cage makes this movie.

Nick Cage is the only reason.

Nick Cage is the only reason to see this movie because if you put any other leading

man in here that makes conventional choices. This is a shitty version of mannequin I guess.

It's mediocre. It's not, it's not shitty, it's not great, it's just blah.
