Search: Starring Eliza Dushku

The thriller element is compromised by pot noodle psychology.

After a sluggish start, the characterisation improves and Dollhouse begins to show its potential.

This is either an inspired satire on the state of popular cinema, an ego-trip of mammoth proportions or a bucketful of vomit.

Teen movies have really hit the skids.

Shaffer has adapted the story from his own comic book and tends towards self-indulgence.

Empathy with a victim is the key to scaring the living daylights out of an audience. Carpenter fails to do this, because his heroine spends the entire movie as confused as everyone else.

True Lies might not be what many expect from James Cameron (given that it’s not thought-provoking or full of copious amounts of water) but it’s undoubtedly entertaining.

Wrong Turn remains true to itself and, although it is possible to pick holes in the story afterwards, at the time it feels only too real.
