To start off, I was surprised at the such low rating.Personally myself I give it an 8/10. Why? The cinematography is excellent and I think the film is suspenseful and well made. I think what hurts the film is Gina Phillips...her performance is weak, but yet it is decent. Faye Dunnaway steals the show as usual.The mystery to this film is intriguing, and kept me on the edge of my seat. It in a way frankly reminds me of a haunted house thriller mixed with Suspiria.The ending to this film spooks me, because it wasn't quite what I expected. It is entertaining and well made. Great little Gothic chiller. 8/10

For some reason, TV Guide gave this two and a half stars, plus Faye Dunaway is in it, so it definitely looked like something to see. My, oh, my, this may be the worst film I've ever seen. Ever. From its horrid acting (every time the girl asks the boy what's wrong with him, I shouted to the TV "I can't act!" When she asks what he needs, I yell "I need acting lessons!" to the unbelievably bad dialog ("Give me back my organs!").And the Brian DePalma wannabe ending, too, it was all just beyond awful. I wanted to like it. Dunaway is one of the best actors ever. And the production values were pretty good.But wowzers, this had me laughing, LAUGHING!, most of the time.Don't even bother out of curiosity, that was my first mistake. Staying with it was definitely my second, and third and fourth.

Imagine if you will that it's your birthday and you wake up and feeling exuberant thinking of all the wonders that today will offer. Then just as your leaving your house you get a phone call saying that your entire family was just killed by a freak accident. You ask what they were all doing together and the police say that all evidence reveals that they all secretly hated you and were planning a glorious murder to rid you from their life; and in fact that documents had been found in your mother's possession saying and they quote "my offspring is a horrible cancer upon this earth who I regret not drowning at birth." You break down in tears and stumble over to your car and just start to drive to the scene of the accident. While in route your sideswiped by a drunk driver. Waking up in the hospital three years later you discover that your paralyzed from the waist down, and while the doctor had you in the emergency room they happened to discover that you have a brand new type of illness, unique only to you. They don't know how to treat it and your death will be slow and painful, also your insurance has dropped you and their throwing you out. That night as you meekly wallow in terror and your own feces under your new underpass home you try to think of what went wrong, desperately trying to find something to give you hope. Then it comes to you lighting up your brain. At least you've never seen Chronicle of the Raven, realizing this you suddenly have nothing to complain about and drift off to sleep.That said I watch of lot movies especially horror movies and this is probably the second worst i've ever seen. Don't let the premise trick you like it did me. I'm hear to warn you. Stay away! eating glass would be a better use of your time.

I liked this movie a lot. It wasn't very scary for me, but it wasn't the scare factor that made the movie good. The atmosphere was what made the movie fantastic. There was a definite atmosphere to this picture. Horror is OK but atmosphere is makes it better. The plot was alright too. I didn't know this movie even existed until I saw it on satellite. The acting was in and out as far as quality. The visuals had something to say though. The theme of the story is very interesting as well. You will just have to see it to understand how strange it is. That is if you appreciate these kinds of themes. Also, it was a little relief from the usual teenagers in the hack and slash horror kind of film. There was a story. The cinematography was nice too.
