one thing i could never understand


why would the police woman sleep with the phsychiatrist after catching him doing cocaine. I mean that part just made no sense at all. And i also couldn't stand both there characters. I felt they waisted a good 20 minutes of the film for their stupid junk! Seriously they could have used that time to show more of eric like a possible flashback to his childhood, i mean then he may have gotten a little more sympathy from the audience.

ok you have to remember this was madi in the 80's coke and sex was popular sex still is but in the 80's everyone was doing it so of course so was the cop

Was it coke or was it Snuff?

Upon seeing it I assumed it was snuff.

And why did she have sex with him? He's Tim Thomerson.

It did feel like thoise characters were in a different film.

Drsantanico: There was more Marilyn in the book (I ordered it and read it almost a year ago).

In the book Marilyn has her own chapters :).

Wish they'd had that in the movie, it would have made her more sympathetic and less of a ditz.
