shrewdly executed schlock that marked Hunts earlier productions Terminator Aliens Its not nearly that good though the premise is choice The survivor Jen Rubin of the mass suicide fire of a Jonestownlike hippie cult comes out of a coma in the 1980s only to sus pect that the cult leader Richard Lynch is haunting her and one by one picking off the other patients in her group therapy session Directed by Andrew Fleming the movie has some distinctively snappy and tart dialogue especially in the early scenes with the patients all of whom have colorful tics as they suffer from borderline personalities Theres a acting turn by Dean Cameron as a manic patient with thick black eyebrows and a wise cracking wit reminiscent of a de- clous version of My Way he puts a knife through his hand But the blood- happy movie have much of a visual style and only the slowest viewers will be at all surprised by the secret Identity of the head doctor at the hospital GRADE I DOMINICK AND EUGENE 13 This study of the bond of now- grown fraternal twins one a dili gent school student Ray the other a somewhat mentally re tarded Tom Is one of those warm bedraggled little films that get by as much on good In tcntlona as on craft and achievement One cant help but be touched by ele ments of this story which includes sibling rivalry of a very special ture and a revelation of child abuse that only deepens the meaning of this brotherly bond The acting helps a lot achieves moments of considerable pathos as he conveys the childlike na ture of bis character and Liotta shows a far gentler side than he did as the excon in Something Wild Jamie Lee Curtis costars effectively in the thankless role Liottas girl friend who arouses jealousy GRADE U CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT Phone QUALITY STEREO
