I liked the original movie and decided to watch this from netflix, without having too much expectations. I can't say I was positively or negatively surprised, but it's OK and fairly well made and entertaining.
What makes this worthwhile for me is that it is stylistically very much like an x-files episode, which I like a lot. If you added Mulder and Scully and cut 40 minutes, it would be an x-files episode. The dark overall tone, neon kind of city color lights, slightly exaggerated colors, worn out brown and green sets. I haven't checked the credits, but the set deco and art direction is exactly like x-files certain episodes. It even has the pre-credits prologue/intro like x-files episodes had.
The story is easy to follow, nothing mind boggling, but the leading lady here is quite good at guiding the movie thru. I have to say the cop guy was kind of annoying and easily the worst part of the movie.
Good if you don't expect much and definitely has TV movie feel to it. But not bad for what it is.
