Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Stargazing at Debbie
This isn't a horrible film--especially compared to some of the clinkers Debbie's been in--and for a B movie it actually has a reasonably high production value. The problem is it's nowhere nearly as suspenseful as it promises to be, and there isn't much to compensate for the deficit.
The producers missed the chance to capitalize on Debbie's beautiful face. Sure, she gets alot of screen time--probably more than in any of her other films--but her hair, makeup & wardrobe make her look ... Read More
Rating: - Talking Dirty with Deborah
One of the more frustrating aspects of being a Deborah Harry fan is supporting her acting career. Though she's a decent actress and captivating screen presence, too often one has to suffer through 90 minutes of dreck to catch the two or three wonderful moments Deborah is on screen. For every "Videodrome" or "Hairspray" in her filmography, there are twice as many wastes of celluloid like "Drop Dead Rock" or "Forever, Lulu." This made-for-cable thriller isn't a great movie, but it's entertaining solely ... Read More
Rating:  - Cheesey, but fantastic movie!
Here's the good stuff; see a sexy Deborah Harry chain smoke, talk really, REALLY dirty, and fight a maniac! Now, seriously, this is one great little movie you got here. If I'm correct, this was a made for TV movie, which would help to explain the look to it. The acting is very good at points, but then seems to fade at others. The maniac, for example, sounds incredibly scary over the phone, but when you see him face to face with heroin Deb, he doesn't seem to be that great. Just a small example. ... Read More
Rating: - COOL PERFORMANCE
FOR BLONDIE FANS, ASIDE FROM THE PLOT WICH IS COVERED BY OTHER REVIEWS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE SHE PERFORMS ONSTAGE WITH AN UNKNOWN BAND IN A SMOKEY DIVE IN GOTHAM CITY & HER VOICE'S GOLDEN ESSENCE IS STARTLINGLY CAPTURED. IF FOR NO OTHER REASON, THESE PERFORMANCES ARE WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION, NOT ON ANY LP'S MIGHT I ADD!
Rating: - GRITTY, GRIM AND GRIMY THRILLER
I FOUND THIS MOVIE HARD TO WATCH AT TIMES BECAUSE OF THE SLIGHTLY CLAUSTROPHOBIC ATMOSPHERE THE FILM HAS. EVEN THE CAST (WHO ARE ALL GOOD ACTORS) SEEM SLIGHTLY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE SCRIPT, MAYBE THATS WHAT THE DIRECTOR HAD IN MIND. WHAT'S OBVIOUSLY INTENTIONAL IS THAT DEBORAH HARRY HAS BEEN MADE TO LOOK AS BAD AS POSSIBLE IN JUST ABOUT EVERY SCENE SHE'S IN (AND SHE'S IN JUST ABOUT ALL OF THEM). SHE OBVIOUSLY DOSENT MIND SHEDING THE GLAMOUR GIRL IMAGE FOR FILMS. THIS MOVIE WOULD PROBABLY MAKE AN O.K ... Read More
