I got this movie especially 'cos my wife and kids were away. I ate, got a beer, turned all the lights off and prepared to scare the pants off myself! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! There was one point where I thought, "Ah, this film might have a chance to redeem itself!" only to be let down again by bad acting, bad garbled dialogue, and just plain bad direction/editing.
*****------ Spoiler Section ------*****
It seems plain to me (after wasting 90 minutes of my life watching this thing) that whoever Convict 762 was is completely irrelevant. The almost point of redemption came when Mannix starts rabbiting on about "...its a disease, it's in the blood, he's dead but he came back as me, you, etc..." which leaves you with the thought that perhaps Convict 762 is not actually a person. Perhaps it's a disease, or virus/weapon that was tested on the convicts and got out of control...or perhaps (spooky) it's some kind of alien parasite etc.
Unfortunately this point of redemption was completely crushed but all the other bad points of this film which failed to bring this to the fore and perhaps offer it as some kind of salvation. I must add that this is entirely speculative on my part and to get any more clarity on the matter would require me to watch it again! Now that thought really does scare me...
