A Twilight Zone-like movie!!!, 23 January 1999
6/10
Author: Rodrigo Marques Monteiro (rodmm@planetabc.com.br) from São Paulo, Brazil

The basic idea of this movie is really interesting... A scientist found out the existence of an alternative world... two friends that are discontent with their lives, decides to turn their back to our world to live in this new world where there is no war, no money, and a new chance of life... But this world that at first seemed to be just perfect soon shows them its dark side. The script would fit perfectly into a Twilight Zone episode, but as its a 90 minutes long movie, the story becomes a bit boring. The direction and actors are really weak, but I found it still worth watching thanks to the "twisted" plot.
