Eh.... could have been a lot better

OK at best, but could have been a lot better. The writers made an attempt to take an original story, pepper it with a bit of science and Dean Koontz, and turn it in to a modern-day thriller....but something was still missing. The acting left much to be desired (note Heather Graham's unnecessary and excessive use of the words "amazing" and "friggin"); the multiple story lines made me have to grab a pen and a note pad to keep track; and the demon twins and their evil abilities were too reminiscent of Children of the Corn. After the first hour, it seems as though the writers scrambled to tie all the different lines together, and that just made it more confusing. Leave out the cloning, the hooded weirdo, the book deal, and one of the twins, and we could have had a nice harmless little remake of Rosemary's Baby. Better luck next time.
