Am I?

Pleasure and pain,

I thought it was pretty good for a TV movie. I liked how we, the audience found out he was a psycho right from the start, so that we're yelling at the screen to Justine Bateman- no! Don't do that! He's crazy!

I thought the ending was a little abrupt - it seemed like they didn't know how to end it or something. And they kind of left us hanging as to how Bateman explained everything to the cops.

But this was a pretty good script overall. How Bateman's character deals with her situation was pretty realistic. Throw two A list actors in there, give the script a few minor tweeks, and you'd probably of had a hit at the box office.

I've never thought Adam Baldwin was a particularily good actor, but he does a pretty good job here. He was very creepy - you always sensed the rage bubbling underneath his calm demeaner. Justine Bateman was pretty good too.

So yeah Brain damaged, I guess I liked it too. You're not the only one. :)

Count me in for liking it. Justine Bateman is beautiful, haven't seen her in anything other than "Family Ties". The ending could have been better, 6/10.

No, I thought it was good too. I thought it had good acting.

I thought it was a good movie as well... Though that might be because I was surprised it wasn't as dreadful as I thought it was going to be. The ending was totally weak though.

I find it to be very entertaining! It is very predictable but I don't watch movies strictly expecting them to be award winning.I watch them to entertain me and this one does.

There were certainly some parts that leave realism out the door such as the botulism scene. He would have either been dead or paralyzed and unable to even stand at that point.

Also did anyone else notice the bad editing with the little girl's sweater? In the scene where she steals the keys and breaks in her sweater is plain,when she goes into the apartment it has stripes lol. This movie is nothing to write home about but it gets the job done in the being a fun watch .

This movie has not been on in FOREVER, does anyone know if it's actually on anymore? The last time I remember seeing it was YEARS ago on lifetime? maybe?

You're certainly not alone. I found the VHS at a video store here in Houston that's closing its doors and just popped it in my VCR tonight. I have to say I really enjoyed it.
