Movie Review by Zara

Bad... Laughably bad
I couldn't remember if I'd watched this movie before or not. As it started to play, I started to feel as if I had. The feeling got stronger the longer the movie went on. That feeling was not a pleasant one.
Sure, this is an awful movie made around the time that Furlong was scrounging for work to keep his name in the papers. He'd become an emancipated minor, was living with a woman in her thirties and had a burgeoning drug addiction to feed.
Which might explain why he would do something like this. It doesn't, however, explain why Frank Langella is in it. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around that one.
The movie tries so hard to scare you. It nearly beats itself against a wall trying to impress you that it's a cross between being cute and being sad in watching it do so. I can't say that I liked the movie but I can't bring myself to kicking this retarded stepchild while it's down either.

| The most surprising thing about this film is that every single credit is not "Alan Smithee." To call this film bumbling would be too kind. There is one scene where little Eddie opens his window to check out the party next door, and Thunderkiss '65 by White Zombie is playing, and I smiled. Other than that, total garbage. |

Give Zara the day off, with pay, or I will eat your f*cking face.
Sincerely,
Zombie Boy.
Print that out, and see if it works.

If you put yourself out there in the public eye you've got to be prepared to receive criticism. Most of the time the good outweighs the bad but sometimes you have to suck it up and continue to live life as dictated by your own personal set of standards. If people can influence you, that's YOU allowing them to do it and no one else.

1. I made EXACTLY two comments about your ratings. One was to ask if you were trying to scam the statistics. Which is not unprecedented. You said no, I believed you. Who cares, anyway? My opinion shouldn't matter to you. The second comment I made was here. Which was obviously a joke. Two comments mean hatred? Trust me, buddy, when I hate you, you'll know.
2. You're talking to a cancer survivor. With the genetic anomaly, seven-inch scar and, huge medical debt to prove it. What does that mean to this debate? Absolutely nothing.
If you're too fragile to operate in a public system, urls aren't that expensive. Get your own website, and then no one else can come along and ever question you.
