    Storyline

    Edit
    The career devoted Lonnie Freeman and his wife Doris Freeman are in London in honeymoon. Loonie receives a message from the important client Squales inviting the young couple to have dinner with him in his house at Crouch End. While going to the dinner party, Doris is advised by the cab driver to return from Crouch End, which would be a thin spot in another dimension. Lonnie does not accept the non-sense explanation and have a weird experience with Doris. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

    • Trivia
      Lonnie makes a joke about his wife Doris' behavior towards an old British couple, remarking that they love having an American come to their country and tell them what to do. Doris is played by Claire Forlani, who is actually British.
    • Goofs
      When Leonard Is talking with Doris, Just after she has exited the Cab and he has left the Phone-booth, he pokes fun at her for giving credence to the "Thin spots" and "Dimensions" that Archibald (the Cab driver) told her about. But Leonard was In the Phone booth making the call to his Boss while the whole discussion between Doris and Archibald took place In the Cab. Leonard Is talking about things he can't possibly have knowledge of.

    The Worst Stephen King Adaptation
    When it's all said and done, I think this may be the worst adaptation of a Stephen King story. Nothing in it works - the acting is terrible, the camerawork is intrusive, the music is awful and the teleplay is boring and full of cliches. There was nothing interesting about it, it was a chore to sit through the 45 minutes.

    At least with MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE or THE MANGLER or, even, THE LAWNMOWER MAN, you can watch and be engaged simply by the outrageous choices the filmmakers made. Not so with "Crouch End."
