SPOILERS WITH-HELD For what starts out as a good horror/murder movie, it sures gets stupid quick and fizzles out. Primarily made for the titillating Drew Barrymore to ooze sex, it doesn't make very much sense and what sense it has is based on lousy, fuzzy logic. What is does have is a good intense and suspenseful plot set in a claustrophobic sequence of events and then marred by one villain we are expected to believe was pulling all the strings and everywhere at once. Drew is wildly kept uninhibited, much like Alyssa Milano in "Embrace of the Vampire," and George Newbern is a rather odd witness to the events around him. The rug is constantly pulled under him as he believes Drew's character Holly Gooding is a murderer, then being set up, and then being haunted. Dennis Christopher is miscast in a unnecessary role as her psychiatrist. There's not much horror, but lots of suspense to this movie which ends with an anti-climactic crash of confusion. Personally, I could have written it better.
