Kevin Williamson, you've done it again!
22 August 1999 | by (Louisiana) – See all my reviews

This movie is one of the best movies I've ever seen! I loved it!!! Great acting by Mirren, Holmes, Coughlin, Stauber, and Ringwald. Nice small roles by Vivica A. Fox and Michael McKean as well. Awesome premise and great direction make this one a must see for anyone!
