Brian De Palma’s follow-up to Carrie is another supernatural thriller about teens with psychic abilities. Former government agent Peter Sandza searches for his missing son, kinapped by a close associate in order to harness his paranormal abilities for evil. Along the way, Peter meets a psychic girl who aides him in his quest. Kirk Douglas’s overwrought performance and seeing Carrie Snodgress, 30 years younger, play his girlfriend, are just a couple of the unintentionally hilarious bits that make this movie so entertaining. Darryl Hannah’s film debut.

I did not like this movie. Kurt Douglas has made an impressive number of really good movies in which his personality was a big plus. He and this movie were a big minus!
I beg to differ. In the hands of a lesser actor, his character wouldn’t have been nearly as entertaining.
