    Maltin is one of the worst critics EVER! I just cant believe people praise him so much. He didnt underrate only this one, but also with other great horrors such as Kubricks The Shining

      Dear Matheusmarchetti,
      I don't think Mr.Maltin is one of "the worst critics ever"(checkout Michael Medved!!!).
      But this writer feels that Leonard Maltin(or whoever reviewed this film on his staff)needs to take a second look at this Classic film.
      To Better Days,

            I've never seen the recut Holy Terror version, but that very well could be the version he reviewed.

              Michael Medved is the worst critic alive. I did not have any love for Joel Siegel either when he was among the living. Maltin tends to undertate films that have some merit while overrating those that are awful. Maybe if it had subtitles he would of liked it better.
              I do not listen to critics anymore. I did more so when I was young, but now
              I only read the bad reviews for fun and not the goods ones.

                Maltin doesn't actually write all (if any) of the reviews in his movie guides he pays people to watch the films and write the reviews for him. Their names are listed at the beginning of the book.

                  I dont' give leonard maltin any credit or integrity or respect. he has none of these things because he also gives ALL the Friday the 13th film bad ratings, like 2 out of 4 stars.

                    Dear Folks,
                    The Director/Writer says a few unfair things about Linda Miller's performance
                    in this film.
                    He does so in the DVD commentary as he and the film's editor discuss this movie.
                    I think Linda Miller does a Great Job in this Classic Film.
                    To Better Days,
                    BRAD

                      I thought she was one of the more competent actors in the film. She was my anchor amongst the bore/scuzbags/bitches that co starred with her. Paula Shepard was pretty good too!

                          I have the DVD, but the one I have does not have commentary on it for some reason
                          If anyone could tell me what the director/writer says it would be greatly appreciated!

                            I'm wondering what you heard Alfred Sole say about Linda Miller's performance. I listened to the commentary, too, and the whole time, there was nothing but praise for everybody involved. William Lustig makes a few nasty comments, and at one point he suggests that one of the actresses is looking fat, but that was not the director who said that. If I missed something, maybe you can let me know what Alfred Sole said.

                              Someone else on the DVD said something to the effect that her crying was overdone during the funeral scene for "Karen." I haven't seen it for a long time now. But Alfred Sole did say that Linda was hurt during filming. Does anyone know what happened? He did not say what or how it happened.

                                      I thought Linda did a good job too. So I'm not sure why the Director would say that.
