•
A girl is disturbed by some psychological problems that lead her to have a sort of double personality. Meanwhile, around her terrible murders begin to happen that always, in some way, see her involved. Who is the real culprit? Drew Barrymore (the child prodigy of "ET") is the protagonist of this decent thriller-horror, smooth and quite engaging. Notable is the ending with the "physical" split of the protagonist that reminds a bit of a certain Cronenberg cinema.
