About this movie

In this science fiction thriller, child psychiatrist Catherine Deane (Golden Globe-nominee Jennifer Lopez "Selena," "Maid in Manhattan") has developed a technique that allows her to travel through the minds of her patients. When Stargher (Emmy Award-nominee Vincent DOnofrio TV's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," "Full Metal Jacket"), a serial killer who methodically drowns his victims and performs bizarre rituals with their bodies, falls into a coma, FBI agent Peter Novak (Vince Vaughn "Wedding Crashers," "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story") asks Deane to enter the killers psyche in hopes of finding the location of a missing girl whom Stargher has kidnapped and, if she isn't found soon, will drown in her torture cell. However, once Deanne enters the bizarre world of Starghers mind, she finds getting out being a very difficult matter. MPAA Rating: NOTRATED Rated R for bizarre violence and sexual images, nudity and language. Copyright © 2000 New Line Productions, Inc.

Ratings and reviews

This might be one of J-los best films. I say this because it's the only one I don't find tortuous to watch... Could be those cyber mind dreamscapes of horror that washed the bad taste outa my mouth that Jenny from the block is best known for. I'm a sucker for nightmare theatrics and set design.

It's been years since I first saw this movie and I thought it not only was scary (D'0nofrio is awesome and bizarre) but the cinematography was beautifully bizarre as well! A feast for the eyes!

Unique. Shot well. Good cinematography. JLo is good, not great. The 4 stars is because I can't do 3.5. But you'll be hard pressed to say it doesn't stand on its own.
