A good scare flick, but too predictable
21 July 2000
This is a good, edge-of-your-seat (yet overly long) flick that is marred by scenes full of fright gags and cliches that make most of the scary parts of the film far too predictable. But there ARE some scary moments in this film, and the Ford-Pfeiffer chemistry works well.

Harrison Ford (despite his bad haircut) did an admirable job - although it's difficult to imagine why he would have an affair with a grad student when he is married to the lovely Michelle Pfeiffer. What was he thinking? Michele also has a good-sized dog that seems to disappear when she needs the companionship the most. Hell, I wouldn't go where she goes without a dog at my side.

Expect to be scared, expect to be drawn into the story - but don't expect a classic scare film. Better seen at a crowded theatre where you get to enjoy the audience reaction.
