I was very pleased with the item, the shipping time was excellent. It was not over priced very affordable, I will buy again from this seller.

This movie is so good, it is one of the best movies Sharon Stone is in. It is so suspenceful because the whole time I was wondering if the husband was alive or dead. I had no idea what was going to happen and will watch it again soon. It is just a excellent movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat til the end. If I could give it a 10 I would because it was that good.

I like this movie also and cant wait to watch the ending. It was always on cable so late at night that I never finished the ending. Now I can watch it when I want. Thank you. It is a good movie too. So, thank you!!

This remake of an Academy Award winning film with the same name from the 1950s has great star-power. As a mysterious character similar to her role in "Basic Instinct," Sharon Stone as Nicole Horner plays a math teacher at a Catholic school for boys, St. Anselm School, in Pennsylvania. The school is run by Dr. Guy Baran (Chazz Palminteri)and is really owned by his x-nun wife Mia (Isabelle Adjani).

Nicole has openly had an affair with Guy but still remains best friends with Mia, a really sickly woman but beautiful and rich. Guy is so evil and womanizing that the two women plot to kill him and do carry out the deed with poison and drowning, dumping his body in a wading pool at the school. But when the body fails to float to the surface, the mystery begins. It is more than Mia can take, so Nicole deals with Shirley Vogel (Kathy Bates), an assertive detective who savilly figures it all out.

Up to this point, the movie is so well done that we are sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for a ghost, for someone to murder someone else, or for poor Mia to drop dead from fright. The music score and dark cinematography add to the terror and horror, and we fear that Ms. Vogel will catch our two ladies in their crime. But this movie has so many twists and turns that we have been deceived from the very beginning.

The ending leaves much to be desired. I'm not going to tell what happens but it is overdone. Not that it couldn't happen this way, it could. But the filming is just not right. We leave the movie with a chuckle as to how such a brilliant plot could fizzle out this way.

This movie is not for children. There is frontal nudity at the beginning of the movie. There is the implication that the two women might be lesbians, and they do kiss. The language is also very adult.

But the first part of the ride is great!
