Rag and Bone (1998)
Great series potential- a missed opportunity?
From famed horror writer, Anne Rice, this TV movie was originally made as a TV pilot for CBS - it's such a shame it didn't get any further as it shows great series potential.
Maybe the victim of the need for instant ratings success in the US, this one would have needed a few episodes to build a following.
More atmospheric than scary, this film has a great cast headed by Dean Cain and Robert Patrick who are both great in their respective roles, but worth looking out for are some wonderful scenes between Dean Cain and Carroll Baker in particular.
Set against the backdrop of New Orleans, the production values are great and whilst there are some holes in the storyline, it has to be remembered that a series was to follow, where many of the plot lines would have been explored.
Rag & Bone is being released on video in certain countries and is definitely worth seeking out.
