A romantic thriller with a gorgeous lead actress.

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2005)

I never realized how good looking Shelly Duvall was until this film, her beauty consumed my entire attention span the whole 149 minutes and 24 seconds I watched this film. I actually did not see that it was a horror film until the old lady in the tub. The relationship between Jack and Shelly was a perfect extension of my parents marriage. I was awe-inspired when Jesus miraculously saved Jack from the jaws of that catfish. My dad was the only person that enjoyed that scene more than myself. My grandma was drunk when she watched this movie and kept asking why the little boy was so poorly spoken. I'm 46 years old and still live with my parents, I was grounded the other night because I said the word 'dammit' which I had heard in this film. So if such language is not acceptable in your household then I recommend not viewing this film or at least wait until your parents go to bed. My parents usually go to bed at 10 pm and when they do I usually watch shows I'm not supposed to like Real World on MTV. I love Landon from the Philadelphia show. He's funny, although he does bad things when he's drinking 'liquid evil' as my parents would call it. The ending of the movie is predictable and contrived, I saw it coming all the way. Speaking of movies with predictable endings, did anyone catch The Passion. Boring!!!!
