lastliberal Debbie: Spare the rod, spoil the child - is that the idea? Is this how you raised my mother? No wonder she was such a f*cking bitch! Debbie(hitting her grandmother with a cane): Oh, I'm sorry, grandmother. Did I hurt you? Let me make it better! Fiona: Please, have mercy... Debbie: F*ck mercy! You don't have any mercy. My mother never had it, my father didn't have it, and I don't have it. It's a family thing!Typical story of a girl from a dysfunctional family. Rose McGowan(Debbie) is place with her grandmother after her mother and a teacher, who was involved with mother, mysteriously die in a fire.Grandmother (Peg Shirley) and Debbie don't mesh well as she is a hyper-Christian. Soon bodies start piling up as Debbie has her eyes on another teacher.Sherrie Rose plays the teachers girlfriend and provides some breast baring blazing-hot love scenes.For Rose McGowan fans only.

howie73 I really liked this as a piece of late night trashy noir cable junk because it pushed the extremes of bad taste. I saw it late at night and was impressed with the sharp dialog and witty put-downs uttered by its femme fatale protagonist, Debbie Strand (in a wonderfully vampy and campy performance from Rose McGowan). Yes, the set-up is contrived and the outcome is cheesy but along the way I was impressed with the audacity of the film's comic-book nastiness and the sheer determination of the protagonist to get what she wanted. However, what's most disappointing is the end, which merely opens the way for another film, without truly exploring why Debbie Strand did what she did. Another annoying trait in these films is to resolve issues in an unambiguous manner, usually absolving the complicity of the lead male. A simple-minded, formulaic tale saved by Rose McGowan and some witty one-liners. As for the rest, cable fodder.

tex2591 I saw this late night on cinemax and thought it to be soft-core because the digital cable guide said it was, but found out that it was basically just a movie with all the bad acting of late night cinemax. Don't really understand why the little added twist that the writers threw in just to come full circle and completely fulfill the cheeziness meter of the movie was used. I think a monkey with a pen could have matched that ending. Sort of interesting knowing that the main actress is twisted enough in real life to marry marilyn manson, but other than that id say this movie had nothing but guilty pleasures ala springer. So if you find yourself alone on a Saturday night because your woman (or man) is at home with the flu and just happen to see this come on hbo or cinemax (i couldn't even imagine trying to stomach any kind of edited version of this thing, then give it a try until you find yourself either asleep or wishing for the flu yourself.

jovies86 Her pale, Saltine skin contrasts from her candy red lipstick, which seems to be the most important prop of the film forget "schindler's list" and "glitter", hollywood should remaster this as a special edition 2 disc collector's set Why didn't she win the Oscar?!?! McGowan has such grace and posture on screen as the late Gloria Stuart (or at least I think she's dead) It's good to know that the now superstar of the hit soap opera "charmed" once was in a hit drama this a perfect cross between "braveheart" and "who's that girl" with a little "from justin to kelly" to throw in for proper measure the scene with clint eastwood will blow you away a love scene has not touched me as well as one has with "psycho" GO ROSE!
