A teen possessed by a demon, a serial murderer, and butchering
zombies are all on the loose in L.A. in this disorganized and
obscure story which ties together a reporter for the L.A. Times, a
graduate student working on near-death experiences, and a cardiolo-
gist with a concealed past, in a search for the killer, who takes
the form of a beautiful woman. Graphic and shocking, but too
disjointed to hold the tension. Grade: B
