Slow-moving thriller., 4 July 1999
6/10
Author: Hermit C-2 from Marietta, GA, USA

Traci Lords stars in this thriller with psychological overtones. She's a recent widow whose scientist husband died suddenly while working on a breakthrough. She takes her son with her to the hotel room where he died, hoping to find out something more. Her son is troubled immediately by dreams and visions of his father's final days.

The writer and director try hard to give us a movie that's original and atmospheric, but it doesn't quite work. The first hour of the film moves so slowly that many viewers may not make it to the big revelations. On this basis I would only give it the barest of recommendations to fans of the genre.

There's no doubt Ms. Lords is a good actress and she can almost carry a film like this by herself. Robert Wisdom and Tony Todd are also good in their roles. Veterans Karen Black and Michael J. Pollard have small parts here; Black acquits herself well, Pollard less so.
