Despiser (2003): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2003, Despiser is a fantasía and terror film directed by Philip J. Cook, running about 105 minutes. “Fear for your soul” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Having just been fired and dumped by his wife, life couldn't possibly be worse for independent artist Gordon Hauge (Mark Redfield)—until he wrecks his car and finds himself in purgatory, that is. Once there, he is attacked by fanatic Shadowmen and legions of Ragmen—souls being enslaved and bent to some dark purpose. Gordon is rescued by an eccentric band of freedom fighters, people from different times of history who lost their lives in noble sacrifice. They recruit the reluctant and befuddled Gordon and set off on a wild adventure through the surreal landscapes of purgatory to battle the Despiser—an evil being who now reigns in this seemingly God-abandoned halfway house north of hell and south of heaven.

Who’s in it. Despiser stars Mark Redfield as Gordon Hauge, Doug Brown as Carl Nimbus, Gage Sheridan as Maggie Hauge and Frank Smith as Fumie Tomasawa, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 2.8/10, Despiser has proved divisive with audiences.
