Higher Mission

Probably a minor thrill for the Oklahomans who worked on it and a paycheck for everyone else. Victoria Summer and Linda Bella are attractive. Casper Van Dien's a fit 50. The story's a mess; the "higher power" and repeated religious references throughout leave one wondering if a church was snookered into financing it ala Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space. Scenes with un-subtitled Russian dialog go on far longer than one would expect. The movie's end just happens, abruptly, roll credits.

What is the story behind the Russian writing, financing, and making of this movie? A making-of could be enlightening - and, of course, could hardly be worse than the flick itself.
