Review:
A yuppy serial killer film involving some of my favorite actors (ok just Chloë) sounds pretty exciting but it really isn't. They get carried away with being artsy, sense of reality, and just plain insanity. See it tries to go into the "is this real or not" land which sometimes is really effective but here I actually found it annoying some of the time. Still, it's easy enough to sit through, not overly bloody, and it's definitely dialogue driven. It's more of a comedy than a horror film, and very much an oddity really, especially for how popular it was. An interesting concept that never really became as great as it could have been, still I love the Huey Lewis part!
