    Again, my soft spot for these kinds of cheesy 90s & 00s thrillers just gets over me.

    I don't think this movie's anything special, the plot is a reworking of Hitchcock's Rear Window, it's also a kind of undercooked romance (the second undercooked romance thriller starring Shia LaBeouf that came out in 2007, funny enough). It really should be dime a dozen material by all accounts.

    But still, I dunno, there's something in here that makes me appreciate it. The script…

    This movie has 3 first acts and 7 third acts. And all of them conflict with each other and make the tone a complete mess.

    I don't know if I can genuinely call this a good movie, but fuck if there isn't just a touch of something special in there.

    The fun part is that not only does the movie get better as it progresses, but the filmmaking also gets better. It's funny seeing touches of future Raimi movies slowly creep in as he starts to get more comfortable behind the camera.

    Or Raimi just gets more powerful the more he gets to torture Bruce Campbell.
