Not for budget snobs
Added 3/18/2008
Yes, it has a low budget. Yes, there are some loose spots in the plot. So do "Evil Dead" and "Suspiria" and any number of classic horror movies. Since when does having a low budget and cheesy effects mean that a movie is bad. In defense of the effects at the end, this was made back in 1993 and was made on a relatively low budget. All things considered, it's not that bad. As for the story, the whole "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with monsters and crazy people was one of the things I liked best about the movie. The overall effect is a little uneven, but I like a little lopsidedness in a horror film. It's those raw, uneven edges that attracted me to the genre in the first place. So, is this a perfect movie? No. But that's part of the appeal.

What? It's not a spoof???
Added 1/26/2008
I wanted to see what Drew was doing 15 years ago. I thought this was a bad attempt at a horror spoof with no laughs. Now I know it was just a bad film with unintentional goofs everywhere. Oh well, show biz people have to learn their trade somehow. Glad I didn't pay.

Good Enough to be Forgotten

I enjoy movies with Drew Barrymore but this movie must have had the lowest budget ever! Through most of the movie, you are not sure of the outcome. Which makes a good suspense film, again, despite the budget. The ending, well, let's say they should have ended the movie earlier as the last scenes cause the film to go from good to horrible.

A Duden for the writers
Added 8/23/2007
Why watch a movie if the writers and producers cannot even spell the movie's title right. Using a German title without knowing how to spell it is a bit embarrassing. Maybe D. Borchers and A. Nesher should have bought a Duden at Amazon first.

Made me a fan
Added 7/22/2007
As good as B movies get. Doppelganger (which Firefox cant spell)introduced me to Drew and etched her name on my brain for eternity. Its too bad people don't give B movies more credit for an actors success. Ever notice Jim Carey never mentions "Once Bitten"? Thats the movie that etched HIS name on my brain.
And hey, Doppelganger taught me a word I didn't know at the time. Thats Edu-Porn to you chloe.
