> <
>please, look at it! it's awful! <
> <
>drew barrymore, in her sad "poison ivy" stage, is a wretched performer. there are pothole plothole's all over the place. and it's itchy to watch the scene with her real mother, jaid barrymore. were they attempting reconcilliation through a b-movie? <
> <
>oh! and the guy from adventures in babysitting, father of the bride & a few episodes of friends is in it, fumbling around too. where is that guy? <
> <
>there's a tough broad friend, a spooky house & at one point SPOILER: drew splits in half all oogy and walks around like some really skinny anatomy horror movie thingy. <
> <
>hey! now it sounds kind of good again.

What If Your Deepest Darkest Desire CameTo Life?
Drew Barrymore returns to Los Angeles after stabbing her conniving mother to death in a hilariously operatic sequence. But is Barrymore really guilty? Was the crime committed by her doppelganger? Is she crazy? Possessed? Or is something else afoot? George Newbern plays her new roommate, a shy, aspiring screenwriter, and he gets tangled up in her mystery. A tangled mystery it is too, and the film gets so carried away that it doesn't really tie up all the loose ends. The ending, though enjoyably nuts, is also rather risible. Some nice dialogue does spark things up a bit, particularly that between Newburn and Leslie Hope (who plays his ex-girlfriend). <
> <
>The mix is limited to Dolby 2.0, but is a solid example of that form. Yet another film cropped to fullscreen. Can't be happy about that. <
> <
>Only a still gallery is on offer here for special features. <
> <
>For serious horror fans in an undemanding mood, this ranks as an acceptable rent. Nothing I can say that's REALLY worth purchasing.

a putrid stinker of a film
This has to be one of the worst movies I've ever wasted my time watching! Don't dispose a precious cent on this movie unless you are a gigantic Drew Barrymore fan and you are merely viewing the movie for the raw sex scenes and constant,random nudity. The storyline could have worked, yet the movie is pathetically low budget, the acting is horrid and the movie falls desperately flat. It is impossible to like this movie unless you are obsessively in love with Drew Barrymore and you want to watch her at her lowest point. It's so bad that I had to come here to vent about it online. The director was obviously a film school drop-out who offered the actors free cocaine and produces low budget porn.
