THE NASHVILLE I Probably enjoyed for it's 90's nostalgia more than it's script. The cast is good, but the script lacks intrigue and buildup. The problem is that the dialogue's flat and the character and motivations from each character are either too understated or too vanilla. Sometimes things aren't expressed enough, while other things feel rushed. If it was redone by Roberto Aguirre and given some of that Riverdale charm then this movie could be great. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/25 Full Review Nick O It’s pretty much The Lost Boys for 90’s goth witches, which is great! Just an exceptional teenage horror movie from an otherwise unexceptional era for horror. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review aiden h The craft is a great teen horror movie with a great cast and all a round an enjoyable watch Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review K K If one wants to watch an actor being all in and nailing the character, watch this movie. The overall cast is solid. Yet sometimes one of the characters really clicks with me and I go "WOW, this actor is all in on the character" and keeps my focus for the entire story. Fairuza Balk as Nancy Downs was quite incredible. Showing a character with a low income, needing some real love from those close to her (why she sought it with Skeet Ulrich as Chris Hooker) and thinking "things" were going to make her happy. As Downs loses her grasp on reality (start to see it slowly build, well ok when she goes totally NUTS in bedroom with Chris Hooker and Robin Tunney as Sarah Bailey, which, by the way, is one of the best scenes of the movie for me, talk about showing us DARK) then start to see where the turmoil and with who will be. ​This movie appears to be a cult classic now. It has many variables existing that can happen at any time and place. The cast is quite large, and each one contributed something to each one of their scenes and delivered something to the overall story that improved the quality (characters either gave insight into the leads, supporting cast, storyline). When I watch some movies that have so few characters, it is like a meal with a couple of items on the plate. Those ITEMS BETTER BE FREAKING FANTASTIC to tell the story otherwise with more things to eat, there is bound to be something that brings the story (aka meal) together for enjoyment. Here let me list it out! Fairuza Balk as Nancy Downs, lead, key player in the conflict. Robin Tunney as Sarah Bailey, lead, key player in the conflict. Neve Campbell, as Bonnie, supporting, enables the one lead due to her own insecurities, diminishes her own voice and turns to superficiality as the key to happiness. Rachel True as Rochelle, supporting, enables the one lead due to being bullied and feeling less than, likes the power she gets from the lead instigating it. Skeet Ulrich, Chris Hooker, supporting, a useless high school guy who is popular, but his character affects the leads, especially the one in building her anger because she allows it. Christine Taylor as Laura Lizzie. Doesn't the name even say THIS IS GOING TO BE THE MOST ANNOYING character, and she was the popular mean girl who really didn't love herself. Assumpta Serna as Lirio, a small part, but points out a key thing to the two leads in how to handle power. Helen Shaver as Grace Downs. WOW did she nail the self-involved, selfish, terrible, drunk parent! Cliff De Young, as Sarah Bailey's dad, provides the financial things (nice house, clothes, food, all that) but is not there emotionally and mentally for Sarah. Protective yes, but doesn't seem to even notice his daughter is STRUGGLING still, and she tried to commit suicide. ​ Breckin Meyer as Mitt, a popular high school guy, shows how popularity can exist in some high schools. I say useless as they think being popular (which is not necessarily a bad thing)but are mean bullies for no reason and support Chris Hooker's bad behavior. Nathaniel Marston as Trey, the high schooler and enabler of Mitt and Chris in high school. Brenda Strong, Doctor, wow nailed the professional doctor dedicated to work. The doctor shows where Bonnie's (and Bonnie's mother by Kathlleen Lloyd) insecurities come from, including how going for repeated care impacts her mentally and emotionally. William Newman, as the street preacher, gives a short scene and gets thinking about what the two leads are going through: "crazy", "not crazy". ​John Kapelos as Ray, Nancy's stepdad. WOW, the guy nailed this sicko, messed-up person (not a parent at all) and how it impacted Nancy's mindset, and also showed that she had a lot of RAGE, due in part to this guy (look how Nancy got what she thought would make her happy). I just listed out fourteen (14) characters that made the story. PLUS there are another dozen, YES A DOZEN or so characters in this movie outside the ones I listed (so go check them out) who helped make this story. THE point is to show how powerful it can be to have a great main cast, supporting cast and then many other players who contribute to the storyline. Do not let anyone say even day players, few speaking lines don’t make an impact or movies do not need full casts or characters: someone saying those things have let their ego become so inflated and out of touch. I also find those types have lost most of their sense of humanity!
