Visually, the film has a lovely snowy-backwoods setting, with touches of Lynchian mischief in the camera work and editing. Creepy characters abound, from glowering priests to sadistic gay Russians. So it's surprising how ponderous it is, indulging in some truly clunky dialog and never stirring up quite enough humour or suspense. It's like an especially gloomy episode of the series, stretched a bit too long. And we miss the ad breaks.
(Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall)
