GamerTab That was an excellent one.

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

jackie meovff For a movie which had little special effects, and no CG stuff this was great. Made back in the days when all you had going for you was good writing, good acting and good directing. Its been so long since I saw this, I can't even remember how the production quality was. I wish this would be released on DVD, though. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Blows away most of the recycled garbage seeping out of Hollywood today by a mile. Great example of a good medium-low budget movie. I like Goldblum in these types of roles. I liked him in the Invasion of the Bodysnatcher remake with Southerland (better than the original, actually) Help me get this released on DVD so our kids don't have to watch crap like 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, and the last 3 Star Wars episodes.

LeaBlacks_Balls When an insane mass murderer Mr. Frost (Jeff Goldblum) arrives at a secluded European psychiatric hospital, the only female doctor on the staff (Kathy Baker) finds herself strangely fascinated by him. He only speaks when she is around, and she is slowly seduced by his odd charms and mystique, despite his bloody past. Soon odd, frightening and deadly things begin to occur inside and outside of the clinic, and Mr. Frost reveals that he is more than just a mad serial killer, he claims he is Satan himself, and it is up to the doctor and a policeman (Alan Bates) to stop him.For a so called horror film, nothing even remotely scary happens. Sure a few people are murdered and some 'scary' visions are seen, but even when these things happen, the filmmakers manage to make it boring, from beginning to end.All the actors are terrible, especially Goldblum, who basically plays the same character he always plays but with long hair and a bad mood. The usually adept Kathy Baker seems bored whenever she isn't in some sort of trance or in Frost's thrall.This movie has an interesting premise, but the script is pretty stupid, and the execution is even worse. Whether it was from budget constraints, a bad director, a satanic curse, or a mixture of all these things, the film is just awful. A better director could have taken the crappy script, improved on it's interesting conceits, and made a somewhat entertaining supernatural thriller. But there's no such luck here. What we get is a dull, wannabe intelligent horror film. It shoots to be in league with 'The Exorcist' but ends up in the toilet with 'Bless the Child.'

killy_nl Except for Jeff Goldblum all actors acted so badly that the originally interesting story turned into boredom. For example Kathy Baker: she often walks around without even showing a hint of a feeling in her face. And these haircuts: hilarious. But nothing compared to the music: a cheetah with a Hammond orgue would have done better. There is simply not a single second where suspense, horror, fear, fright or anything else is produced by this crappy film. You just see a mixture of bad music, actors, haircuts and dialogs floating around. I can only hope that another director with better actors, hairstylist and musical composer will turn this great story into a cinematographic masterpiece. It gets a 3 only because of Goldblum, otherwise it would be 1.

sixpack-3 Throughout this movie, the best thing, by far, is the performance of Jeff Goldblum. But, I'm not quite sure it's enough to carry this film. It tries very hard to be very stylish and odd and freaky, but falls short with a concept that, done correctly, could have been quite intense. The picture is intentionally very subtle, but is riddled at times with clichéd horror movie tactics that don't quite fit. It almost feels as if the only person who put any effort into their performance was Goldblum and that the director and writer felt that simply being stylish and setting a dark undertone would be enough. Goldblum's portrayal of The Prince of Darkness has to be the quirkiest portrayal ever put on film. He fills the performance with a subtle charisma and his usual odd behavior and I was really hoping that he would just rise up at the end of the film and kill all of the other actors with a grin or a raise of his eyebrow. All of the flaws of this film considered, it could have been saved by a really gripping ending... but there is none. The film builds slowly, mostly due to the performance of Goldblum, and you are lead to believe that we'll have some sort of great cataclysmic ending... but there is none... it just sort of ends. If you are a fan of Jeff Goldblum, you'll enjoy his performance. If not, you will probably find the film boring and tedious.
