Because I'm a sucker for almost any bad movie (whether original, straight-to-dvd or theatrical release) that ever airs on SyFy (oooh, the new name STILL makes me shudder in slight pain) I wasn't expecting "The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations" to be any good...

but it is...or at least it's good enough to not make you roll your eyes or laugh in inappropriate places. Rachel Miner takes a fairly decent stab at playing the shut-in sister of Sam, an amiable loner-type who gives the local police important leads on various crimes by traveling through time and "observing" the past...though he tells the cops he's "psychic" since that's FAR more believable than jumping through time:)...

The violence is often far too garish (but what else can you expect in a serial killer slasher that borrows the concept, but not the story lines, from the previous two Butterfly Effects) and some of the twists you can see coming a mile away...nevertheless there was something about "The Butteryfly Effect 3" that made it hard for me to stop watching...of course, you can say the same thing about traffic accidents and train wrecks so don't go by me.
