very suspenseful,psychological thriller, Oct 20 2007
This review is from: Cold Creek Manor (DVD)
this movie is about a family that moves into what they believe will be
their dream home.it is old and falling apart,but they believe that once
they fix it up,it will be the home they've always wanted.sounds alright
so far.however,they notice something strange.when they move in the
house is filled with possessions of the previous owners.then weird
thongs begin to happen.they discover the house holds a dark secret.and
someone else decides the house belongs to them.Sharon Stone and Dennis
Quaid play Cooper and Leah Tilson,the proud new owners.Stephen Dorrf is
also in the film as is Juliette Lewis.The film is directed by Mike
Figgis.it is a psychological suspense thriller,with out a lot of gore
and graphic violence.a rare treat in these days of slice'em
dice'em,hack and slash movies.this movie has a very eerie atmosphere
throughout and works well as a ghost story.if you want some genuine
chills,i recommend Cold Creek Manor. 4/5

COLD DEAD MOVIE, Aug 13 2004
This review is from: Cold Creek Manor (DVD)
SADLY THIS PROMISING IDEA FOR A THRILLER HITS THE GROUND HARDER THAN STEPHEN DORFFS CAREER WILL IF HE KEEPS DOING MOVIES LIKE THIS ONE. DORFF IS GIVEN THE WORST CHARACTER PREMISE IMAGINABLE, ONE THAT STARTS OUT LIKE IT COULD REALLY GO SOMEWHERE AND INSTEAD COLLAPSES IN A HEAP OF BAD DIALOUGE AND MOTIVATION. DORFFS CHARACTERS BACK STORY WOULD HAVE MADE A MUCH MORE ENTERTAING MOVIE THAN THIS SORRY EFFORT WICH IS WAY TO LONG TO GET TO A VERY PREDICTABLE CONCLUSION. FANS OF DORFF STEER CLEAR OF THIS MOVIE AS IT WILL NOT IMPRESS COMPARED TO HIS OTHER WORK. SHARON STONE AND DENNIS QUAID ALSO DESERVE TO BE IN ANOTHER MOVIE, SADLY THEY DESERVE EVEN LESS THAN WHAT COLD CREEK MANOR DELIVERS.

Great Unintentional Comedy, July 13 2004
This review is from: Cold Creek Manor (DVD)
Not too many thrills in this thriller, but as an unintentional comedy it's aces. Fans of bad movies will love this DVD to death, particularly the deleted scenes which include Dennis Quaid as pool shark humiliating the Massey character. Stephen Dorff flares his nostrils menacingly while strutting around shirtless, oiled up, and chewing the scenery like a starving man. Several laugh-out-loud moments throughout this film. Indeed the only thing missing is Joel and the 'bots in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.
