“Residue” (** out of four) was a mindless horror thriller about a private investigator (James Clayton) who reads a book involving sinister origins and unwittingly puts him and his daughter (Taylor Hickson) in jeopardy in a fight for their lives in which nothing is what it appears. Attempt to mix together elements of fantasy, horror, and underworld melodrama scores points for originality but becomes tiresome after a while. Matt Frewer is amusingly over-the-top as a criminal boss but Clayton is one-note and blank in the lead.
