Cold Creek Manor

Dennis Quaid, Sharon Stone (2003) An ex-convict plagues a couple and their two children after they move into his former mansion.

Syfy Sunday movie from 2/14.

Nothing like Valentine's Day to show a crappy movie about some redneck type guy harassing Dennis Quaid and his family. But I'm guessing that when you're the Syfy channel, you don't have that much choice of movies...

So, is it obvious that I'm only watching this because its a Syfy Sunday movie, and reviewing those is sort of my blog's thing? Which I'm kinda regretting. Because there have been a lot of just bad movies. And not the fun kind of Bad Sci-Fi movie. Not even Sci-Fi... Just horror-ish crap...

Although Dennis Quaid just punched his wife in the face... Which I guess makes up for this movie's failings.

And the wikipedia entry for this movie refers to one of the characters as "slatternly".

Those 2 things have been the high points of this movie... And knowing these 2 things means you don't have to waste 2 and a half hours of your life (assuming you're too incompetent to fast forward through commercials).

Also, this movie had a distinct lack of helicopter gunships. Bad SciFi movies definitely need a lot more helicopter gunships. Just a thought...
