Pretty good slasher film, elevated by the screen presence of Lauren Bacall, and sterling support from James Garner as her ex-husband, and the always wonderful Maureen Stapleton (her and Bacall make a great 'bitchy old women' double act!). Michael Biehn gives a typical one-note performance as the obsessed fan, but it is great to see Lauren strutting her stuff in a rare starring role. Recommended for fans of Bacall and campy melodrama.
