We need a remake of this gem of a movie. A modern day version of this film could be incredible. If you have not seen this movie, just do it. Make sure you have uninterrupted viewing time. This is a gritty and dark story that is a classic and a must see without a doubt.

All the 10 star reviews are fake. Not sure why fake reviews are posted. Are people paid to post fake movie reveiws on IMDb? I wonder. Here is a real review- The movie is okay to watch at home on a weeknight. Giving this movie ten stars is just ridiculous. It is a violent Lifetime/hallmark made for TV movie. I give it 5 stars.

This movie was simply terrible. The ending was definitely the best part because that mean't it was over. Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie at all costs. Just an absolutely awful film.

Subpar acting, weak script, lack of character development. Difficult to sit through one episode of this dribble.

A dark depressing film with enough character development to keep you engaged. Well acted and believable, this movie is sad and touching. Well worth watching.

Saw this movie when it came out in 1993. Did not know who Brad Pitt was, but knew I would be seeing more of him. Good performances by all. Keeps you engaged throughout. Recommended.

I believed the hype about this movie and really wanted to see it. I nearly went into Manhattan to see an early limited screening at an independent theatre. I am so glad I did not take the time and effort to do that. I waited a week and saw it at a local theatre. I convinced my wife that this would likely be one of the best scary/suspenseful movies we had ever seen. Holy S_ _ T! This was quite likely one of absolute worst movies I have ever paid to see in a movie theatre. I was 30 years old when I saw it, but I can guarantee you that if I was 20 years old I would still have the same opinion. I am a movie fan and have seen many independent films. I enjoy good/clever scary movies. This movie was neither clever, scary nor entertaining. A complete waste of time. I seriously considered requesting a refund.

This movie was a bit slow at times but was okay for a Saturday night at home. John Goodman was of course very good in his role. The story was basically pretty good but overall lacking something. I found it to be less entertaining than I was hoping it would be. I guess the trailer and reviews had me convinced/thinking this would be a great movie. In my opinion it was good, but not great.

This movie, in my opinion was not worth watching. Not scary, not clever, just pure nonsense. I enjoy a good scary movie and this was not it. I cannot understand how this movie garnered a 6.7 rating. I have seen movies with ratings in the 4s and 5s that are much better than this depressing sad film. If I had gone to the theater to see this I likely would have walked out before it was over. I was ready to turn it off but my wife wanted to see it through. She regretted her decision. For the life of me, I cannot understand how anyone would find this movie appealing, enjoyable or a "good scary movie". My recommendation if you are thinking about watching this movie is to watch a different one.
