Wait a minute, people actually like this?


Gotta admit, it wasn't a bad film, but I was surprised to see how high the rating of this film was. I assumed I was watching a B-Rated 80's horror flick. I'm glad to see it's not so obscured. lol

We all got our insecurities, even Angelina Jolie.

It's a cult film and cult films usually have their fans.

"Like" it?

It's one of my all time fave films. It's brilliantly written with one of the all time great villains. Some amazing directing (for a low budget flick) and is a lot deeper and has more layers than one first thinks.

Any movie that scares the living heck out of me (and I've seen hundreds of "scary" movies, most of which are NOT scary at all) deserves at least an 8! I even had to turn it off at 39:00 into the film because my heart was pounding so much, and return to it the next day!

At the time it came out it was highly unusual given the guy's motives.
