Trancers 6 keeps with the tradition of the previous films. Once again, Trancers are loose, and Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson ) must find and destroy them. The time travel in which they use to go back in time and rid the world of these unwanted guests, must be done by entering in the body of an ancestor at whatever time they’re traveling to. This time, Jack Deth finds himself with only one ancestor from this time, his own daughter. “Jo” (Zette Sullivan) is a bit of a “nerd”, a tofu eating “plain Jane”, she enjoys astrology, and meteor watching. We first see Jo looking through her telescope watching a meteor shower. She calls her friend “Doc” at the observatory to meet with him the following day to talk about their discovery. Just as she gets off the phone, Jack enters into the body of his daughter, which is quite an odd experience for him.

Jo is no longer the nerdy girl she once was, but now a hardened, smart talking “man”. Everyone notices the obvious change, but hasn’t yet figured out “who” she really is. Jo is on her own, battling the Trancers and kicking some ass!

For those who aren’t familiar with the previous Trancers films, Helen Hunt played the love of Jack’s life, and Jo is their daughter. You do see a picture of Helen on the refridgerator, but sorry, no cameo’s. The weapons are realistic and actually sound like real guns, not the cheezy sound effects that you sometimes hear in a big budget Hollywood movie! Trancers 6 was an incredibly FUN movie, you sometimes feel like you’re battling the Trancers right along with “Jo”/Jack.

The cast was a good mix also. Besides Jack and Jo, other main characters included: Jennifer Capo as “Shauna”, the tough as nails peson in charge of the Trancers, Robert Donavan as “Malvern”, Timothy Prindle as “Mark” and Jere Jon as “Sam”. Each one brings a different and energetic performance to the film. Director Jay Woelfel has successfully kept the Trancers series alive and well. For Trancer fans and Horror fans alike, this is a must see. Plenty of suspense, blood, gore, and ass kickin’!

*A note for the Trancers Fans: Tim Thomerson is only in this film for a brief period of time, and clips from previous films were used for his scenes, not actually Tim himself. But, you will see him in on the DVD since it also includes the very first Trancers film as well!
