User Reviews

cold, disturbing and depressing

Jeff Goldblum, Kathy Baker and Alan Bates show a stunning performance in this picture. Mr. Goldblum plays the devil as real as Baker the psychotherapist Dr. Day. It is actually visible that she´s standing between two things: her own feelings and frost´s ability to impeach her with his evil charme, and her mind, her experiences and her psychatristity. Alan Bates tries to convince her, but he fails as Frost already has chained her at the Dark Side. Watch this masterpiece and you will be turning fast ínto a gaga-man.
