Jeff S Sep 27 I enjoy movies that take an unexpected turn or two. Up until 10 minutes before the end, I thought the "pal" would somehow end up being the menace. Great acting by the two main protagonists, the lonely guy and his "pal", and perfectly chosen actors for the mother and new girlfriend. I could actually see the new relationship as the way to a brighter future for all three non-pal characters. The movie built your sympathy for the lonely character up until near the end, when the reality was revealed by things going wonderfully sideways to spiral completely out of control. Only one item really went beyond the point of my ability to suspend disbelief... the mother's ability to get herself down to the basement at several key points in the movie or to get far from the house in the escape scene. I don't think so...

Strong performances and a chilling, well-executed ending make this a memorable and haunting watch.

If you want to watch a different kind of '80s horror...this is it. See more Chris G 05/25/2024 A unique, well acted musing on obsession only fails because it felt like it could have done more with its unsettling premise. See more Ricardo d 05/20/2024 Um bom roteiro, boa interpretação, só acho que peca um pouco na edição e definitivamente não deveria ser colocado como um filme de terror e sim um drama ou suspense. See more Miche H 03/16/2024 I recommend this movie to everyone I really liked it. I thought it was different which is rare nowadays. See more Read all reviews
