| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Terrible, just terrible |
| 'I Wake Up Screaming' was a tightly written, well directed, thoroughly intriging film noir with great performances from all it's leads. In contrast this lame remake boasts a lousy talky script completely in lacking in structure or even common sense together with decidely wooden performances from all concerned. Special mention must be made of the leading man who can't wipe the idiotic smile from his face even when facing a murder rap. One wonders what insanity prompted the studio to put out this out especially when the original had been a runaway success at the box office. If the basic premise excites you then for heaven's sake check out the original and avoid this drivel. | |
