Drew Barrymore plays a young woman haunted by her
lethal, ethereal double. Following her mother's death, she moves into a new apartment, shared with a budding writer who is confused by her seemingly schizophrenic behaviour.
This horror movie never really lives up to it's
potential due to it's low-budget shackles, questionable performances and atrocious special effects makeup in the final act.
Not as bad as other horror films made around the same
time, but it's not very good either.
