What A Great Film!
When I saw this in the theater back in 1993, I was hoping for a sci-fi flick full of aliens and awesome SFX, so when I got to the halfway mark, I figured this was a dramatic representation of events that may or may not have happened. And I was cool with it, because the story kept gaining momentum and the pace was quickening, and it started to look like maybe they DID murder their friend...hmmm...intriguing. ***SPOILER ALERT*** Then the flashback scene happens, and it TOTALLY took me by surprise. It was incredibly effective, and I think I even went with a group of other friends to see it in the theater AGAIN. I was SO glad when it FINALLY came out on DVD in 2004, because the VHS version was a crappy full-screen transfer. Now, I can't wait for a HD DVD or Blu Ray version, because the DVD transfer looks kinda crappy on a HDTV. Oh well...at least it's on DVD at all, I suppose.
