So I bought this before I'd seen it...


They have this sale at Blockbuster for like $5, and I'd never seen it but I love Christian Slater and he looked pretty dang good on the cover, its from the Heathers days. I can honestly say I regret spending $5 on it. It was pretty horrible. I hated the girl in it, and I pretty much didnt care what happened. I dont recommend it.

Bi-Lo grocery store has it for $2.50. Good deal for a Christian Slater film, or so I thought until I checked it out here. Glad now that I DIDN'T buy it !!!!

I liked the movie. Thought Christian was very good.
It's like a pre-Untamed Heart movie.
I'd like to have it again.

I've only seen it once and that was well over 5-6yrs ago. But I did like it. Christian Slater as always was great. Plus it was cool to see Brian Bloom again. He use to hang on my wall. ; )

I grew up near where this crime took place and remember older kids talking about it. During the early 80's as a child it was scary to hear of a teenager killing someone.

I saw this on Lifetime and what has stuck with me from this movie is that it is a true story but also that it took place in MS where I grew up.

I found it on Ebay for less than $2.50 and quickly bought it.

All in all it doesn't matter if it is good or bad someone's child was murdered and that is what matters.
