Review of In Between

In Between (1991)
A Disappointment, in More Ways than One
12 March 2001
I'm a big fan of Robert Forster and I'd watch just about anything he was in, but sticking with this turkey to the end was almost too much to ask. It starts off with a promising situation: three strangers waking up to find themselves locked in a strange house, but it never really delivers a satisfactory ending. It evokes the mood of dramas like The Twilight Zone but can't sustain it throughout, bogging down in confessional dialogue. Besides bad writing, the film suffers from bad editing. Some of the camera cuts seem accidental: The character caught on camera looks surprised and hesitates, as if waiting for a cue. There are some awkward, amateurish pauses where nobody says anything but you have the feeling someone should be saying something. Robin Mattson is good, as always, and there are some amusing elementary special effects, but on the whole I felt that I had wasted the time it took to watch it.
