Sharon Stone is quite beautiful in this very weird "thriller." I have a better appreciation for her after seeing this. Her scenes with the raven are realistic and more believable than any from "The Birds." A twisted approach to a standard storyline makes it somewhat watchable - in addition to Stone as the ingenue. More disturbing to me than the plot though, was the highly irritating sound of shoes clicking across the floor! Thank goodness film sound experts have learned how to eliminate that in films!!
