Mark B @Mbindon Jan 6 It really loses steam throughout the movie. Premise was pretty good but the last 35 minutes go on and on and is very unsatisfying. See more Kalissa H @kali_416 Dec 13 Slow but a cool premise See more Benjamin G @BxDxGx Dec 5 Classic film. Classic setting. Excellent progression that keeps you guessing with enough clues to let you figure it out for yourself. I remember when I first watched it in theater, I was hooked the whole time. Watching it decades later, it still holds up well as a standalone original murder mystery with Ford as an unexpected but great casting for the part, Pfieffer does an excellent job, too. The East Coast lake scenery is outstanding, such an incredible home and area to film around. I would argue that it’s one of the better films of its genre that implements supernatural elements without going too overboard. Can’t help but notice how the lack of high definition helps add a little more mystique and nostalgia to this era of filmmaking (90s, early 2000s). I’ve heard quite a few people talk about how too much high definition is ruining modern films. I’ve noticed it throw things off at times but, more often than not, I appreciate HD quality when cinematography is executed well.

Pfipher does a great job essentially acting alone in silent rooms and the suspense in the first half is enough to keep you going but it me, the ending (despite its twist) doesn’t pay off the film. It feels absurd for the otherwise grounded beginning. Harrison Ford is great at subtley and it all works. It’s just missing a sharper more thought out climax. That said, the set is beautiful, and ages very well, looks current. The shot work is great, obviously the bathtub scenes are iconic. And all the Hitchcock references are chef’s kiss. Check it out, film classic for various reasons but it’s just alright. See more Alec B Oct 19 Sits at the intersection of trash and class (this is all ridiculous soap opera melodrama horror and yet it is undeniably compelling). It's totally sold by the actors and Zemeckis went almost full De Palma here even though its somewhat hampered by the PG-13 rating See more Read all reviews
