“In Its Wake” (*1/2 out of four) was a shonky suspense thriller about a group of friends (Kenneth Bemister, Michael R. Buchanan, Damien Doepping, and others) who are besieged by a mutant creature on the prowl and they turn to the church to stop it and send it back to Hell where it belongs. Cheesy effects and lame acting and filmmaking sink this pointless drivel. Allegedly inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft but it’s hard to imagine he would want his name on this. Eerie and pretty cinematography from Bryan Piggott is one of film’s few bright spots.
