Featured review
DVD Release?
You know, all the copyright holder for this flick would need to do is put this on a DVD with some documentary/behind the scenes stuff, or a copy of the original story, and i'd shell out money.
Good movies get bought, period.
This is another reason why people pirate flicks, most of the films we see are filler and fluff and hype, and nothing more.
We need more movies like THIS available
Made for tv movies usually get a bad rap. The only bad rap I can give this movie is it's VHS only release.
Ben Affleck may have been "the bomb in Phantoms", but Straus was the bomb in THIS flick.
