No doubt about it, to divulge the plot would spoil the experience -- you'll be shocked to discover, and maybe even surprised to learn, just how lame the damn thing really is.

In terms of tone, the film is all over the map.
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten
A lurid mess, a Southern gumbo simmering in Gothic cliche.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
A middling, so-so thriller.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
For all the stars' intensity as investigators, nobody in this whodunit really seems interested in the upshot.
