 Rated 1 out of 5
Do you want nightmares?
If you do, get this movie as nightmares are almost guaranteed. I saw it with some college friends about eight years ago. It took about five years until the nightmares stopped. I cannot think back on this movie with any sort of fondness. The murders are quite gruesome.The only thing that I feel was well done was how the writer seemed to get into the mind of a serial killer, but that also concerns me. My mind just does not think in that sort of mode. While I am not a great player, I like the game of chess. I feel this movie did the game and those who play a really bad stereotype. Avoid this movie. It is not worth the time or stress.  Rated 3 out of 5
Love the movie. Hate the DVD.
This movie has ranked among my favorites since the first time I saw it. It’’s a great suspense thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. I was eager to add it to my DVD collection, so I ordered it as soon as it came out.Imagine my disappointment in seeing this DVD. The transfer is horrible. This disc was released in the first quarter of 2001 -- over a year after Anamorphic Widescreen became the accepted standard for DVD -- and not only is this transfer not anamorphic, but it is worse quality than the VHS I have seen. There are a number of glitches in the transfer, including some that look as though the transfer was done from a damaged source negative -- maybe even from the VHS itself. On top of that, the disc has NO special features. Even the VHS version had a making-of documentary after the credits rolled! It’’s hard to believe that transfers with quality this poor are still being released today. If the studio doesn’’t care enough to do it right, then why do it at all? In summary, I highly recommend this movie.
