This review is from: Nature of the Beast [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie has characters that are unusually deep and complex. I watched this movie on a whim, but I am certainly glad I did! I plan on sharing this movie with friends and loved ones.

4.0 out of 5 stars one of eric roberts best parts, November 10, 2000

This review is from: Nature of the Beast [VHS] (VHS Tape)

another don't pick up a hitcher pic. Not as suspensful as "The Hitcher" but still well acted and written and suspensful. Among Roberts and Hendricksens better pics. I especially enjoyed the scene where Roberts explains what the nature of the <human> beast is. One of those pics that come on the cable with actors you like so you give it a try and find a real winner.

This review is from: Nature of the Beast [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Both Lance Henriksen and Eric Roberts give incredibly menacingly performances. Good twist at the end.

I wrote this review years ago and since then I've watched it many times and each time I notice something new in both Lance & Eric's performances. As a result, the movie has become increasingly taunt & scary for me. Both these actors are among the finest character actors living (got to give Lance top-billing, though--it continually amazes me how under-rated Lance is.) Lance is the only character actor I know that never looks the same and possesses that unique ability to change appearance to fit the role. How good can you get? Just bought the DVD from Amazon...........very cool......
