Terrified (1995)

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Evil might never sleep, but there's a bloody good chance of the viewer nodding off while watching this dreadful psychological thriller starring a pre-fame Heather Graham and featuring a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance by Carrie-Anne Moss (who is given top billing on the UK DVD cover!).According to director James Merendino, "the movie is about passive aggressive misogyny destroying femininity in this country". In other words it's a pretentious pile of indie semi-art-house twaddle from a director with ideas way above his station. The dialogue is stilted, the performances awkward, and the narrative disjointed. Merendino commands dreadful performances from all involved and makes every scene as mundane as possible, directing in a style that can only be generously described as perplexing.

If you see this movie on a shelf, leave it there. Its quite simply awful Bad story, bad acting, bad filming. Just watched it for the first time (and the last) and it was a waste of 90mins. Watching it i presumed it was grahams early work the acting was so bad and was shocked to find out it wasn't. Why did she do it!!Leave the film, just run away and never look back, you aint missing anything.

The whole film seemed like a student film, which is hyesterically funny, but what really got me was the hysterical chill. Heather Graham's hysterical performance reminded me of Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby, that neurotic sensibility that really scares the audience. The poor quality of how the film was presented added to the mystery of how this film was concepted to be made, even more a mystery of why Graham got involved, which all the more adds to the creepiness and weird experience this film delivers that can further more make someone laugh hysterically. The story was in a sense, smart, but could be easily underrated.But most importantly, the film made me "feel" the feelings that the character was going through that served a point, not to mention loads of entertainment and true horror. it's definitely "about" something if you're considering to see it, i definitely think you should. Looking back on it, I really loved it. Purchase it, why not?

I was looking through TV Guide last night and saw a movie starring Heather Grahm on, who I liked in movies like Boogie Nights, and Austin Powers, so I decided to watch it. It started out ok, but you could tell the story was lacking, and at about half way through, it started to deteriorate. I do not remember this movie being in the theaters, and I'm sure if it was, it wasn't there long. The acting was stale and unconvincing, the dialogue was silly and predictable, and the story was confusing and stupid. Definately one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I like movies like the ones this has been compared to like Fight Club, but this one doesn't come close!! Heather Grahm has done much better things since. I gave it a 2 out of 10 but thats because I clicked on the wrong number, I meant to give it a 1.
