Average Rating: 
Rating: - Excellent noir-horror crossbreed
Alex Winter, one of the two (either Bill or Ted; I forgot which) guys from the Bill and Ted movies, is a director as well and this, his second film, is a strong entry in the film noir canon. Here he has Henry Thomas as a semi-starving artist who has problems coping with reality, big-time.

Rating: - Excellent tension and mood!

When a stranger appears and an unsolved murder occurs, things begin to twist. His nights are filled with surreal dreams and his days with self doubt and seclusion. It is at once a horrific psychological drama as it is a mysterious thriller. Alex Winter did an excellent job with location and direction. It seems to be ... Read More
