90A smart, realist drama -- I wouldn't be surprised if this one winds up on my 10-best list for '99.
-
75Does what good horror movies do: It taps into the baser emotions.
-
60Dares to take a different tack, taking its young people seriously in a more realistic context. If ever there was a director ready to graduate from genre films, it surely is Shea. [12 March, 1999, Calendar, p.F-6]

38The sequel is about nothing more profound than an awkward teenager's desire for a really cute boyfriend. [12 March 1999, Friday, p.N]
