The Risen

As Canadian TV movies go this one stands out for actually having a half decent script and some rather spooky direction. Might have had something with being shot in Moose Jaw where director Jeff Beesley was born or maybe it was the above average performance of Alberta Wilson for this sort of fare. It's a neat little story involving near death experiences and misplaced souls and is certainly worth a boo though I must confess to having laughed through a great deal of it. This had nothing to do with the picture but with me thinking Eugene Lipinski looked a hell of a lot like Michael Coren and the idea of Coren in a supernatural thrilled had me in bloody stitches!
