A heady concoction of several movies...


... (Most notably: Childs Play, Sliver, Rear Window, Labyrinth & Cube); but it has the slightly dispiriting feeling of a jigsaw that's been put back together in the wrong order... 4/10.

Cube and Sliver both came out years after Scissors. If you are implying this movie "borrowed" from those you mentioned. If not then I can see the connection to those four.

I saw this movie a long time ago on TV, after Basic Instinct first played in theatres, and it's always stuck in my mind, as Sharon Stone played a character so different from BI or Total Recall. I always thought this movie was like the book/movie The Collector (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059043/), definitely a classic thriller.
