Never Talk To Strangers [DVD]

Wow this is a really great movie! Especially if you love Psychology like me - this is the movie for you! Although I kinda ruined the ending for myself by reading comments on youtube about the trailer I still enjoyed it! There are still so many questions you ask yourself leading to the resolution, so even if you may ruin it for yourselves you still don't quite know what is happening. These actors did such a great job and it shows how little awareness mental illness was in the 90's.

Great thriller, nice and twisty. Love Rebecca deMornay and the sex scenes with Antonio Banderas were hot! Both actors bring such intensity to their roles, in this movie and others. Recommended.

I watched this movie again recently. Hadn't seen it in years, it really is a very believable story about someone suffering with mental illness. I found it just as intriguing to watch this time as I did the first.

Why had I never heard about this movie before?? Good psychological thriller with great acting and solid performances from all. Definitely worth the watch.

If you treat it as a comedy, then I would give it three stars. Laughable at best.

Noy very memorable

Great movie, love her

A good movie.

Brian De Palma has often come in for some flak over the years, his penchant for sticking tight to Alfred Hitchcock thriller formula has been the source of much consternation in certain quarters. Yet when you view something like Peter Hall's Never Talk to Strangers it rams home just how welcome it is to have Hitch like thrillers at least done well!Rebecca De Mornay is a troubled shrink who whilst dealing with the mind games of a serial killing loony (Harry Dean Stanton), meets sexually charged Latino guy (Antonio Banderas) and indulges in passions unbound. Then she starts to get very unwelcome presents in the post...The erotic thriller has been well trodden, and will continue to be so for sure, so it feels a little churlish to decry Hall's movie for coming off as a weak willed imitator of previous purveyors of the sub-genre, but this blend of Silence of the Lambs meets Sea of Love - cum - Dressed to Kill - cum Fatal Attraction etc etc just comes across as a cheat. And that's because it is!The makers know this and try to hide their ridiculous folly behind eroticism as the two lovely looking headlining stars get sweaty and wet, indulging in sexual play that's as powerful as the surroundings (Banderas lives in a loft apartment resplendent with metal cage and wrought iron doors). But, or should that be butt? The mystery element is weak, the suspense equally so, while the back story of De Mornay's father (a key character) is hopelessly under developed.Then there is H.D. Stanton, stealing every scene is he is in, quid pro quo indeed, yet he's hardly in the film, which ultimately proves to be a tragedy as the plot hurtles towards its implausible and risible revelations. Red herrings come and go as quickly as Becca and Tony's underwear (the continuity editor should have been sacked along with the writers because of one scene BTW), and even though Pino Donaggio scores the music with customary swirling qualities, this just comes off as a piggyback tactic...This is a poor thriller in spite of two very committed and visually attractive perfs from the leads - and of course Stanton's knowingly sleazy turn. Seek this out only if you think Body of Evidence is in the upper echelons of erotic thrillers. 5/10

arrived promptly well packaged as described no damage no hasslesNo spoilers - well actually one ishwell crafted film. all the performers did good jobs. the usual twists. In fact this story is becoming so hackneyed there ought to be a moratorium on it. Really there must 10,000 variations on this story. the only thing that separates them is the crew (and even then I'm sure some of them have done several versions).does it stand out from the crowd? a bit. but the point of these reviews for me is did I like it not what score does it get from the international board of film score-ers - there ought to be one of those ( I copyright the ide right now.I did like it and I liked the 'Lambs-esque' interviews that lead me in the wrong direction.What I didn't like was the universal cop out ending - It's sooooo tired. Can someone please come up with a refreshing point of view. JUST ONCE it would be nice. In fact I should really kick myself that I didn't see it coming - perhaps I watch these things hpong that just once this might end differently. This is why it lost a starACID TEST: would I buy again/recommend - YES

A fabulous thriller ever created with suspense for the unexpected and turns in different directions throwing you into chaos not knowing what's next, A woman falls in love but with who, the devil or an angel now that is the plot, no more hints as to spoil a fantastic movie. There is plenty of things going on that makes you wonder if its him or not, I rated this an A grade plus for delivering such a great storyline with the cast making it even better. So off you go and collect the popcorn pick up the movie get settled onto the couch with feet up and try to relax to a fabulous night of entertainment with a difference and classic. Enjoy!

I liked the storyline , good thriller and it for over 16;s not under ... watchable ...

How did Peter Hall get involved in this crap! And Antonio Banderas is absolutely ridiculous!
