Actually on Video it's "Killer Buzz"

but no matter the title, it's still a lowbuck, horrifically written flick. Gabrielle Anwar running around in a jungle is amusing for about 3 minutes, but you have to watch 100- odd minutes of garbage to get it.....it does get bonus points for it's Ed Wood styled same stunt from three different camera angles stretching of the budget, and loses the bonus points just as quickly for it's "Shadow People" with Prince Valiant haircuts..... truly bad, completely ludicrous, and on the Cheez-o-meter, it gets; 3 out of 10, bad, but not lovably so....
