Unpleasant and slow as a snail
27 June 2001
Warning: Spoilers
Despite some stylish direction, this is a pretty dreadful "thriller" about a possessive mom, her innocent daughter, and the young man who invades their lives and uncovers their dark family secrets. If you've seen "Psycho", you should be able to foresee this film's "shocking" plot twist about an hour before it's revealed. There's some really lame plot contrivances and the characters have to do some pretty stupid things in order for this story to reach its ludicrous finale. While the movie does have a few gory "shocks" at the end, it moves at a snail's pace and tells a story that is all too familiar and none too compelling.
