Gordon has directed drama, such as Mamet's 'Edmond', but also visceral horror movies like 'Re-Animator'. Elements of both are evident in this taut psychological thriller.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
As the title of this splatter comedy by writer-director Stuart Gordon indicates, he's like a bug stuck to her windshield, and that's about the level of humanity and insight one can expect here.
It's a grueling little noirish thriller with slasher-worthy gore.
Stuck gives a boost to the dramatic elements of the story, while preserving the stern lesson about a society crumbling under the weight of self-interest and moral decay.
You might hope for fiction to bring insight to senseless cruelty, rather than augment the ignominy of the original crime.
