Directed by Cindy Sherman, written by Tom Kalin, Elise MacAdam and Elise MacAdam, produced by Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler.
Average viewer score of 5.1/10 from 48 ratings.
Great performance from Carol Kane saves this from being just a run-of-the-mill horror-comedy. Nothing amazing otherwise but at least it's a brisk pace and some interesting visuals from the one-time director Cindy Sherman, an apparently famous photographer. Movie also features Molly Ringwald, Jeanne Triplehorn and Michael Imperioli as well as an uncredited appearance by Eric Bogosian. **3.0/5**
