Although this movie starts off incredibly slowly and at first seems like your typical annoying cult film, it picks up about 1/3 of the way in to be a great psychological thriller / horror. The cast of the movie (with the exception of a couple roles) is excellent. Jennifer Rubin is brilliant as always in her portrayal of the awakening Cynthia, and Dean Cameron is nothing less than breath-taking as he switches back and forth from delusional psychopath to happy camper.
The problem with this movie lay with the underlying storyline. As a 30-something woman having just awakened from a long coma, Jennifer Rubin is a little too young for the role. (Knocking a few years off the coma would have helped.) The viewer soon forgets that when they get caught up in the whirlwind of activities going on around. There's a little gore in some parts, but what's a good slice 'em and dice 'em up horror without a little gore?
If you enjoy Jennifer Rubin in this movie, you may also want to check her out in "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" (as well as the rest of the Freddy series), as well as a more serious role in the 1988 teen drama "Permanent Record". Any Cameron movie is worth the watch, but for Dean at his peak, check out the hits "Ski School" and "Summer School". The slow start doesn't hurt the movie at all, and the movie is worth at least a 7.2 on the ratings scale.
