Sometimes you are mislead by an IMDb-score, and this is one of those films which deserves more praise. Currently on a 5,1 score, this film is definitely a 7.
Don't trust the haters here. They will be many, since this has graphic sex between teenagers, and not in that matter your average teenage flick. The flick scores on tension and realistic feel.
This is a sexy teenager flick with haunting dark sides, which will give any teenager at least an erotic sensation. It's made in the early nineties, but it really has a feel of a 80'ies film, in the golden video age. One of those you rented and made your world back then.
The title says it all. It's about a 17 year old getting blown away in teenage love, to a sexy rich mysterious dream girl. A girl which really early on gives a feel of being a classic femme fatale. A girl which sometimes is sweet as a cutie, but as soon as the sex is over she tends to go cold as ice, running away playing with the young teenagers feelings. To complicate it more, she has an seemingly insane father, and he has a quite dodgy brother.
This film certainly has it's weaknesses, but to way up the weaknesses there's many things which makes this interesting to watch. OK I admit it's sometimes a bit cheesy, but weighing up this in very sincere play by many involved. Sometimes the logics are failing, in a very humane way. The film has some steaming hot young sex scenes, leaving less to imagination than usual are, though not showing more than small teenage boobs. Acting very realistically showing the sexual tension and lust of teenagers in love.
I think acting is very good all over. Corey Haim probably does his role of his (way too short) life here. Showing some real talent. Teenage girls watching this back in the nineties must really have had a defining moment. Fellow Corey Feldman is probably the least favorite here, though he's most certainly to show a less sympathetic young man.
THis type of film, a sexy thriller, often fails. This doesn't due to a smart script and great acting from the youngsters. The film has some dark humor, most often presented as the Colombo-style detective, sometimes analyzing, sometimes talking dirty. Always giving impression he knows what's going on, except not able to prove anything. Filming is great, effects less since the explosions don't hit the mark, though they are colorful enough. Twist and turns are great, and the film is very engaging when you decide to give it a chance. You should, if you're not easily offended by a little sex on screen.
