Scissors. Scissors. Scissors. Yes. Indeed - Scissors!.... So phallic (?). And, yet, so suggestively female (?), as well.... And, believe me - Actual penetration can be oh-so deadly!
Slick. Glossy. Intense. Intriguing - (There's no denying it) - Dead Again was (most definitely) all of these things. But, alas, by the time that the ending rolled around, this film somehow failed to satisfy this viewer as being a genuine Thriller geared to the intellect..... Needless to say, though, Dead Again was an unusually constructed Suspense/Drama, if nothing else.
And, yet, regardless of being a well-crafted and highly-stylized film production (with shades of "Hitchcock" thrown in for good measure) - Dead Again's basic story-line was ultimately just too-too dense, and, yes, just too-too artificial, to actually achieve its overall magic to its anticipated potential.
"Dead Again" trivia - Upon its initial release back in 1991, this film remained the absolute #1 movie at the box-office, all across the nation and beyond, for 3 solid weeks running.
