Goofs:
Factual errors: During sentencing, the judge tells Vivian "the State of Massachusetts has declared you insane," thus making him ineligible for the death penalty. In legal parlance, Massachusetts is always referred to as a Commonwealth, and does not practice the death penalty. more

talent wasted, 3 April 2000
1/10
Author: fred-83 from Sweden

The most scary thing about this movie is the talent wasted. What on earth possessed these usually talented people to be involved in this poor excuse for a horror film? I don´t know in who´s dreams this movie seemed to be a fine idea, but it should have stayed there. I liked INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE, and Jordans recent BUTCHER BOY, but his mind must have been fixated on his paycheck on this one. A little more than halfway through I was reaching for the fast-forward button, and I started thinking about re-planting my flowers. Shame on all involved.
