Police Investigator Detweiler (Alan Bates) arrests the mysterious Mr. Frost (Jeff Goldblum) after finding dozens of murder victims buried at the serial killer's home. Frost becomes mute after his capture, and he is then taken to a mental hospital.

Finally, Frost breaks his silence by making a chilling claim about his identity to his doctor, Sarah (Kathy Baker).

Time Out The film does grip, despite the sometimes below-par quality of both the camerawork and the acting. Dec 27, 2011 Full Review Caryn James New York Times Mr. Goldblum, Ms. Baker and Mr. Bates (in a relatively small role) all seem professional, restrained and uncomfortable, which is at least a tribute to their good sense. Rated: 2/5 Dec 27, 2011 Full Review Hal Hinson Washington Post Thousands of actors have played Lucifer, but none has ever given him this particular charismatic brand of idiosyncratic loopiness. Dec 27, 2011 Full Review TV Guide Muddled is the perfect word to describe this mess. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 27, 2011 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope Rated: 2/5 Aug 1, 2004 Full Review Shannon J. Harvey Sunday Times (Australia) Rated: 2/5 Feb 10, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Baba B I think perhaps people should give this film more credit than it has received. It is often criticized a "cheap" feel but for me, that is part of the attraction, that from the very beginning scene of the two guys going down the road on the motorcycle, the feel is a Made For TV film. I believe if you surrender right away to that instead of fighting for expectations that certainly it has to change and improve by the next scene, you will find yourself actually going down the rabbit hole this film intended to pull people through. Difficult for me to explain. You almost have to feel like this is the first movie you have ever seen in your entire life. Like taking a hit of blotter acid without actually abusing drugs. Then you will actually come out of it that this film should have won an Oscar for best film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Steve D Some good ideas but never puts them together, Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/09/23 Full Review jason d This is one of Jeff Goldblum's best movies and that is saying a lot. Great good vs evil movie that deserved a sequel. Very underrated movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review delysid d Jeff Goldblum, what a Turd this movie is! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/12/19 Full Review Audience Member Anxiously waiting for this to be released on DVD in the U.S. so I can buy it and watch this creepy gem again! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Very underated film. Jeff is spectacular as always. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
