I kind of figured I'd like this because I love psychological thrillers (i.e. Silence of the Lambs). One of my favourite books is Rose madder, and I'm currently reading Lisey's Story, also a (so far) fascinating psychothriller (why, yes, I'm a Stephen King Fan, and damn proud of it. *g*). I wanted so much for Eye of the Beholder to have had enough money to make it as good as it could have been. Same kind of creepy psychothriller, but it went over budget and didn't pull it off exactly right. I still liked it, but it could have been better.
You could just see how he had suddenly realised that he was going to be left there to die and started panicking. Great piece of acting by babyPaul.
I looked it up (because I look stuff up obsessively) and found out that this was Paul's first feature film (OMG, teh alliteration!). That particular scene was really well-done by both of them. Very impressive.
I wonder how things turned out in the end, apart from the years in therapy for the both of them.
If I were Stephen there wouldn't be a future relationship, or even an association, because I wouldn't want to be reminded of the whole sorry mess. Although I'd like to think that Stephen would be concerned about how Dolores was doing down the years, since she was a victim, too.
- That "Hello, I'm off my head" look that Maury gave Stephen during their arm-wrestle, and the reciprocated "Oh crap, I'm dealing with a psycho here!" look that Stephen had on his face, were both great.
I think maybe this is why Maury and Paul work together over and again. There's great chemistry between them.
- I nearly threw up at that bear-trap part. Yikes. Although I did at first wonder whether Maury was faking the drunken stupor and had taken Stephen out to the woods and shot him. I'm not sure what is worse.
This part I was spoilt for, because of a dScrossover fic I read, believe it or not.
- Was I the only one who thought that Maury was going to rape Stephen at some point? That shoulder massage had me worried there for a while.
I didn't think of that, mostly because I read in the reviews that the UST was Floyd's toward his daughter. I'm really, really glad that it didn't turn out that way, because rape is one thing I have trouble watching. *shudder* I was amused by myself during the massage part, though, because the first thing I thought about was OMG, that must feel great. I've been really wanting a massage for months. So my brain got the creepiness, but my body was all, 'can I be next?' *hunches sore shoulders*
Now I have Murder Most Likely to watch, but I couldn't do it on the heels of this one. Too much creepy all at once.

My IMDB review of CC is finally up, here.
