2.0 out of 5 stars Its been cut!, August 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Shadow of a Scream [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this film under its alternative title of "The Unspeakable" on cable. This version has quite a number of cuts toward the end, so if you've seen the final scene with Athena Massey on cable, it won't be here.

Other than looking at the incomperable Athena Massey with the less than usual amounts of clothes on, this film is the usual psycho fare. The twist is supposed to be that Massey's psycho cop boyfriend is to be compared to the thoughtful philosophical slasher, with us coming down on the side of the slasher. Unfortunatley, cutting Massey's final scene definatley makes this much less valuable than it would have otherwise been.

Conclusion: Don't bother. Massey fans: Get her film Undercover instead, its much better.

4.0 out of 5 stars BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE, July 4, 1999

This review is from: Shadow of a Scream [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie was well written and directed and the acting was good, especially David Chokachi. Good to know he can play a complex character with depth and conviction. There was a lot of suspense in the film, especially toward the ending, even though I already figured out who the killer was before it was revealed.
