Average Rating: 
Rating: - Well done and sensual
An excellent movie for either man or woman. It has its scary side, in the character of Lyle, a psychopath, a love interest in Jack and Willie, and from a male point of view, Mia Sara is wonderfully gorgeous even when she tries not to be.

Jack has no other place to go in the approaching hurricane so he has to watch his every step or Lyle might do him in. But Jack also notices that Willie ... Read More
Rating: - An adrenalic and thrilling psycholgical suspensense film.
I wouldn't have thought a movie about three people trapped in a house in the woods would be as compelling as this way cool Showtime film. Director Eric Red, working again with his writing partner Kathryn Bigelow, creates a moody, atmospheric, and exeptionally well-acted story about a stranded drifter battling with a psychotic and creepy mountain man over his beautiful young wife in the U.S. backwoods. Strong photography and wild action set pieces, plus super performances by Charles Dance and ... Read More
