I know this movie is not very popular among critics and viewers.
I'm a big fan of the book that inspired the movie, and although James Dearden's script changes a lot of the story I still think the movie has a lot of highpoints.
I really like Matt Dillon's performance (ok Sean Young's not so much lol), the murder scenes are really powerful (the bathtub scene gave me nightmares when I was a kid, that chopping sound is terrifying) and the final chase scene is heart throbbing.
Maybe it's not Silence of the Lambs but I still find it underrated. The early 90's had a lot of dreadful thrillers (Final Analysis, Malice, Body of Evidence, to name a few), so this one doesn't deserve all the bashing it gets as one of the worst thrillers of its time.
Ok, now that I finished my defense, would like to share a few images found online from scenes that didn't end up in the film for some reason, and from the movie's original ending (that I'd love to see someday, but probably won't).

Unfortunately, since this is a very underappreciated movie, it's doubtful Universal will ever restore and release these scenes so they will probably rot in their vaults (if they still exist). Another movie that will be forgotten because big studios only care about making money. Shame.
Hidden fans of this movie like myself, please step out and comment
