The
only thing triggered will be suicidal
tendencies!
This 1996
film inspired by a Twilight Zone episode stars
Elisabeth Shue and Kyle MacLachlan in a story
with a remarkably lame premise. The premise is
that a couple has to figure out how to deal with
each other over the course of a few days during
a power outage in Los Angeles.
The film is horridly scripted, and direction by
James Burke is chaotic at best. In a supporting
role, the usually dependable Dermot Mulroney is
left looking like an idiot throughout most of
the film.
Shue is horrid here and MacLachlan reminds us
why his career went into a downward spiral. Only
a few "twilight zone" type moves keep this film
from being a complete and utter failure. Still,
I wouldn't waste my time on this film.
