A teen horror film with grown-up violence.

Antagony & Ecstasy

Offers a few stunning moments of paranoia-laced terror.

Lessons of Darkness

A misfire on a classic remake.

The original was far better.

Greenwich Village Gazette

One almost never says that a SECOND remake is worth a dang, but this is that very rare exception to prove the rule.

New Times

A very effective horror remake that's driven by character rather than cheap shocks.

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

Okay remake. Might have been better is screenwriter Stuart Gordon had directed.

Ken Hanke

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

One of the creepiest and most overlooked horror movies made in the past decade, featuring a strong, scary turn by Meg Tilly.

It's been a while since i saw this one, Ferrara's direction is great, the sense of tension was very well build. My problem was the very anti-climatic ending. Might need a rewatch.

I liked it. It?s not as good as the 2 before it but Abel Ferrara still does well! The little kid getting kicked out the chopper is always fun!
