I can tell the reviews are bad because of the marketing, as well as the title of this film. For the time this movie came out, a lot of people would've gone into this movie expecting a lot more action. Just based off the title itself and some of the kind of over hyped quotes describing the movie, it's evident to me from the old reviews that people were mislead.
It is a pretty weird movie especially if you're expecting a typical psychological thriller (and there were a lot of good ones in that genre coming out back then).
If you are a fan of this director I think you will find it enjoyable on some level.
I thought it was a pretty unique experience, focusing mainly on helpless obsession, which ultimately drives into pure delusion.
Effective work, I didn't find it boring at all. But yeah if you're looking for a fast paced thriller this isn't it.
