Summary
|
Jordan Manmouth is a 'Stephen King' like author making an appearance on the Dick Cavett show. He informs Mr. Cavett that he is not scared by stories of Zombies... 'It's the live ones you have to worry about..." He returns home to his sterile home environment where he is suddenly haunted by a Phantom that only appears in mirror reflections. In the end he is physically becomes the Phantom and takes his own life. |
Commentary
| Martin Scorcese (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas) makes a directing appearance in this stylish little horror. The portrayal of the estranged relationship with his ex-girlfriend is very smart and economical, especially for television. The antiseptic white home is a unique environment to have a horror story played out. The phantom, played by Tim Robbins in unrecognizable make-up is appropriately menacing to Waterston, but only in reflections. The concept does become frightening and the musical score by Michael Kamen joins in the fun. |
