“Purgatory Station” (* out of four) was a horrid horror melodrama about a crooked lawyer (Angus Benfield) who wakes up in a large container and soon learns he has 8 hours to scuttle a deal for a corporate land grab with a greedy millionaire (Bob Gunton who can play this role in his sleep by now) or see everyone die in gruesome fashion. Part elements of “Saw”, part supernatural elements from “The Sixth Sense” but an all-around mess and painfully overlong at nearly 2 hours. It’s always great to see Gunton on screen but judging from this effort (and others recently) his career seems to be in purgatory.
