“A Chicago cop is about to face his worst nightmare... Only this time it's real.”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Two Chicago detectives travel to Israel while investigating a murder tied to an ancient supernatural threat. Chuck Norris approaches the occult mystery with his usual physical certainty. Cheap effects and remarkably blunt dialogue make this a niche crossover between police action and demonic fantasy.
