Brendan Kelly Variety Reasonably entertaining but largely uninspired. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Wally Hammond Time Out An adequate psychological thriller on a topical theme -- Repressed Memory Syndrome -- but with little special quality, few frills or thrills, and a relaxed, almost languid exposition. Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Caryn James New York Times It's an easy-to-watch movie that will be even easier on video, where it should turn up any minute. Rated: 3/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review TV Guide It's basically a direct-to-video erotic thriller blown up to big-screen proportions, but the stars are attractive and it's passably entertaining -- right up to the ridiculous twist ending. Rated: 3/4 Aug 5, 2009 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Sep 29, 2005 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Rated: 1/5 Jan 8, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Tomas B Una excelente interpretación de Mornay Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Audience Member A more or less typical thriller made special by Rebecca De Mornay's awesome performance, she is the executive producer of this picture and must have badly wanted to do this role. I found it a bit slow at times, but the last 20 minutes or so made up for the weak spots, perfect twist movie at the end. So for this being a very well made movie, and that twist making it up at the end, I give " Never Talk To Strangers " a C. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review deke p saw on tv 2017. I liked it. It was 'moody', but tense. Banderas was ood as always. And i've always had a crush on Wally George's daughte. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Generally a good film. Something to watch on a cold rainy night. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Good story, awful acting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The story and the acting was good enough, but the outfits were scary. Of course, in the 90's when this movie was made everything would have been fine. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
