Rebecca De Mornay and Julianne Moore, is what Hollywood is all about-Stars who look like Stars and act like Stars. In fact Moore, went to fame and fortune after this movie. This is incredibly gripping movie with some fine acting by the cast including the actor playing the retarded handyman. The casting is superb and the direction by Hansen is near perfect But, it is Rebecca De Mornay (Peyton) with her ever conniving and double faced sweet talk that steals the show (even the red apple takes the brunt of her vengeance!) She thrives in her role and a role that is custom made for her. The "Clair" character does so well with her asthmatic attacks, that even a real patient could not have done better. This movie has it all, beautiful and glamorous actresses, suspense, thrill and one of the best movies that I had the pleasure to watch and watch I did eleven times!!
