Title: SENSELESS AND OVERWROUGHT
Review: Only the career defining performance from a dynamic Ashley Judd mskes this movie worthwhile. Director William Friedkin's translation of the play by Tracy Lettis tries to instill suspense by fueling the paranoia of Judd and co-star Michael Shannon (in a very good performance). If you were expecting a true horror movie, you will certainly be disappointed. I had a hard time seeing Judd's descent into the paranoid woman -- her involvement with Shannon is deep but to fall so hard into the maelstrom of Shannon's dementia isn't grounded. Harry Connick Jr. is pretty good too as Judd's abusive ex-husband, but overall I was disappointed.
