steve d The strange tone sinks it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting find in the Drew Barrymore crate. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An okay thriller. Drew Barrymore was good, but the movie itself was super predictable with some pretty cheesy moments and some bad acting. It was also trashy in a pretty comical way. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember this coming out when I worked at a video store and thinking it was weird to see Drew Barrymore move from child actor ("ET," "Firestarter," "Cats Eye" etc.) into a more mature teen role, before her better known transitional films like "Poison Ivy" or "The Amy Fisher Story." The story here is a lurid thriller set in an Arizona trailer park, with Barrymore and her dad, Matt Frewer, finding themselves stuck in a trailer park. The trailer part is run by Susan Tyrrell and who's other residents include Richard Masur, Anthony Rapp and Jennifer Tilly, A series of murders start occurring at the park and the mystery of who's committing the murders is the main crux of the film, although the mystery isn't all that mysterious for anyone who's ever watched a thriller before. Written by Tommy Lee Wallace, who wrote the mini-series adaptation of "It" and the underrated "Halloween III: Season of the Witch," it's not a brilliant script, but the film does have a trashy appeal to it., even if the mystery isn't much of one. You also get Dick Miller as the town sheriff, so that never hurts. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Welcome to mid-drift USA. I know it's hard to imagine, but this film takes place in a world before cellphones where people could actually be stranded. In Far From Home, preteen rape bate Drew Barrymore, her irresponsible writer dad, and some strangers become stuck in a probably radioactive trailer town in the Nevada desert because of a gas shortage. A series of mysterious homicides ensue, and the action lies somewhere in-between a palpable nightmare and a Sunday afternoon made-for-tv movie. Serious props to the stellar screaming and bad parenting acted out by Susan Tyrrell. Tagline: A highly philosophical x-con uses a sniper riffle--hip or dangerous? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Kept me interested from start to finish. Excellent performance from a VERY YOUNG <b> Drew Barrymore.
