Goofs:
Miscellaneous: During the pool scene at Sean's house, when he is pushed into the pool, water splashes onto the camera lens. For the rest of the shot, it is apparent when focus on the lens is changed because the drops rotate around the center of the shot. more

Mrs. Robinson & Norman Bates, 28 July 2007
6/10
Author: kenjha

A hot-looking female teacher seduces a student while a psycho stalks them. In a plot that is not grounded in reality, the most implausible element is that this beautiful teacher practically throws herself at the doofus student but he avoids her like a scared puppy. Former child star North is terrible as the clueless student. Tompkins, a B-movie actress of the 1970s, is gorgeous and sexy as the "older" woman trying to impart carnal knowledge. She also gives a pretty good performance and is the main reason for watching this low-budget film. James is creepy as the psycho, but serves more as comic relief than as a scary villain.
