I saw this film back in October at the Savannah Film Festival and while watching I was thinking to myself how much it felt like I was watching a straight to video movie. Can someone please explain to me how so many people's expectations of movies are so low that they see this steaming pile of excrement and think it is great. I am baffled.

Was this film made for TV?
17 March 2002
I caught this film on TV laaaate at night recently. I was intrigued by the fact that it was directed by Francis Ford Coppola...so I decided to check it out. Uhhhh...is there a more horribly shot film in the history of films directed by great (well...that might be an overstatement...Coppola is kind of a one-trick pony in my opinion...) directors?? It has the look and feel of a made for TV movie; really boring cinematography, some silly dialogue, and truly unremarkable direction. I don't know...maybe it had a really great story, and it DID have a great cast...perhaps I was just too distracted by the creepy, cheap-looking presentation to get into it.
