this film be one of the best of 1986 with creepy and yet intriguing performance from crispin glover and dennis hopper . the reagan year be pretty bleak for a lot of people and not just teenager and but this flick really capture the desperation and despair . well direct with great script ( apparently base on a true story ) and i do not really see any weakness in this . the opening shot be brilliant . keanu reef be decent for a change and miss skye be right on the money . hopper have three other great performance that same year ( blue velvet and texas chainsaw ii and and hoosier ) . i imagine this have a cult follow and i wonder how this picture would fare if it be re release . super stuff .
