Starts strong, ends caseously

Rating: 3/10 (27 April 2003)

Disconjuncted timeline in the beginning is excellent. Overall, the use of suspense was adequate for A grade horror movies, but not top tier. An incredible ensemble cast--Liotta, Peet, Cusack and Busey give quality performances.
The basic premise of the story is novel and entertaining, however the way the story is scripted towards the end is disappointing. The overdone "sunny fields" to cheesey "Children of the Corn"-esque ending ruined this for me.

We knew Liotta's character was no good from seeing his back early in the movie, but I think they overplayed the whodunit shifting a little too much during the course of the movie.
Again, the concept was good, just not carried to fruition. I think that this is a case where a veteran production team (Wes Craven, etc) could have ironed out the kinks and made this a top 10 all-time horror flick.

Just one man's opinion, Darling
