The movie attempts to top each of its revelations with still another until reason bends and interest flags.

The film's worst elements come from the filmmakers. To say they've seen too many Hitchcock films is to understate.

Things get weirder and weirder, until it's clear scriptwriter Wesley Strick's the one who needs analysis.

Has so many twists, turns and backward leaps, the actors tackle their work like trained poodles in a circus act.
