Leave your thoughts about Cold Creek Manor.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenWho could have believed that Mike Figgis could churn out an utterly conventional, formulaic thriller? |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerSupremely listless and scare-free nonsense. |
| FilmsInReview.comVictoria AlexanderThe underlining homoerotic subtext gets muddy, then washed away, in the creek. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekFloridly awful...offers absolutely no surprises. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe journey, however, is a hollow one, since Quaid and Stone, for all their efforts, never really do seem married. Perhaps that's because Stone, with her dry-ice charisma, does everything that an actress should except connect to whomever she happens to be facing on screen. |
| Houston ChronicleEric HarrisonAt least it has a subtext, which is more than you can say for many big studio releases. |
| culturevulture.netPamela TroyA potentially good story spoiled by being not just badly, but stupidly told. It therefore deserves no quarter. |
| Good Morning AmericaJoel SiegelTalk about your fixer-upper - the script needs fixer-uppering. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)At first, I thought Cold Creek was proceeding deliberately, but then I realized it's just boring. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumSean O'ConnellA by-the-book stalker picture marred by sloppy plotting. It's only scary if a malicious redneck holding a grudge terrifies you. |
