OK, they got the creepy, crawly thing down - Nispel's direction looks like one long running Marilyn Manson video (take a look at the video for "The Beautiful People"; dead on) and Shiban's script is at it's best X-files spooky. Adam Goldberg is his usual interestingly goofy and the rest of the cast plays the monster thing nicely. BUT Parker Posey is...awful, at best. From that black mop hair head to the ridiculous scenes of her running around with a shotgun, it SO does not work. With a tiny bit of re-casting, USA could have a pretty decent series on it's hand, but only if that thing crawling around in Michael Madsen's guts turns out to be a 're-creation' of himself. Note to USA - don't kill off your potentially most interesting character in the first ep., you'll be sorry later!
