once again and i be browse through the discount video bin and pick up this movie for $ 4 . 88. fifty percent of the time the movie i find in the bin be pure crap ( i mean horrible beyond belief ) but half the time they turn out to be surprisingly good . this movie be much good than i expect . i find it very engage and though it be obviously make by an amateur . the direction be nothing special and but the story be intrigue with some good thrill . i expect it to be more of a comedy and but i wasn not too disappointed . for a thriller and this movie be surprisingly good natured . there no bloody violence and no profanity and no nudity and no sex . usually and these movie require all four of those element . the pg rating be well deserve not like sixteen candle where the f word be use twice and there a brief gratuitous nude scene . i just wish the romance between corey haim and his love interest could have be develop more . the film do tend to be plot heavy and and the potentially good subplots be push off to the side . instead of develop a chemistry between the two of them and we end up watch a careless three minute montage of them on their romantic endeavor . they end up kiss at the end and but there so little chemistry that it seem force . the dream machine be no gem and but it good and clean entertainment . it quite forgettable especially with a cast of unknown and except for haim but it also much good than you would expect . my score represent 7 ( out of 10 ) .
