Score on this will DROP

This movie is a series of disconnected events that leaves the protagonist in the backseat for half the film. The beginning was completely disconnected from the end. We're supposed to believe that Michael C. Hall is going to help Sam Shepard (who, need I remind you, was leaving BULLETS in his son's BEDROOM not 20 minutes prior) go kill his psycho son? Oh right, Michael C. Hall HAD to go because he needed to find out who the intruder he shot actually was... but surprisingly enough, this is never revealed, or even MENTIONED after that weak scene in the car. Horrible script and B-movie direction that belongs on Lifetime network.

That's my opinion anyway...

The soundtrack is also a catastrophe. What was the thought process of putting a soundtrack that could've fit in blade runner into this movie that is set in a small town with a hillbilly feel.

I loved it.
Since the movie is in the 80's, the director chose (wisely, imo) to emulate the synth scores from that time.

It made no sense to me, as most of the movie.

One of the best scripts supported with a great casting...

I agree 100% with slaxter. I can't believe this dud of a film currently boasts a 7.0 rating!

You seem very invested in hating this film, although I do agree that I had a problem with believing Hall's character's motivations. But saying it belongs on Lifetime tells me that you know little about Lifetime.

I fully agree. It made me feel I wasted my time. 3/10

The score will only drop because of idiots like you giving it a "1". Anybody who goes around giving movies a "1" on IMDB must not be much of a movie fan. The only movies that deserve a "1" are ones that are incompetent in every single manner. This movie is way too high quality of a production for that.
