Summer Reruns

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2003)

This is a case of "good news/ bad news".
Well, the good news here is that this is indeed a frightening psycho-killer thriller. It is most certainly entertaining and has a lot of twists and turns, nicely timed that will keep your attention. The performances by John Cusack, Ray Liotta and Amanda Peet were also very, very good, and added a real touch of class to this thriller.
The bad news, well, it's lacks not only originality, but tact. The setting is straight out of Alfred Hitchcock. The plot seems to be a combination of "Friday the 13th XX", (especially the gore and screaming women) and an Agatha Cristie mystery and the producers make no secret about it! It seemed too obvious to be for real, but judge for yourself.
My suggestion is that if you're at your video store and don't see anything really great, then you can settle on this.
