this p. of s. be highly recommend to me by two friend that have great ( similar to mine ) taste in film and have see more than anyone i know . i have no idea what they saw in this movie . sadistic and cruel and repulsive be fine in an entertaining movie and but this be a windbag effort try to pass itself off a highbrow lowbrow movie making . or be it lowbrow highbrow . the ancient generation gap cliché no redeem social value come to mind . bill pullman be try and maybe a little to hard and and except for the kid the rest of the act seem self conscious and kinda lame . save yourself from this and watch a double feature of in cold blood and the hitcher . a somebody say and this would never have be make if jennifer lynch be not the overrate david lynch daughter .
