7/10
Solid 6.5

In IMDB the rating I gave was 7 because it is a solid 6.5 on the fact that it was engaging. The actors were charming and surprisingly rich in depth despite the premise of a romcom-murder movie. It wasn't funny but had funny moments (John Landis had fun being a baddy in slapstick style). It wasn't gruesome like American Werewolf, but elements were quite disturbing. It wasn't really romantic but the Michelle and Jeff had a slow burner - very good to have that style as a basis of a relationship. All in all, as one reviewer rightly stated it is a great late night rental movie (and with terrible mid 80s music from B.B. King to boot). Great cameos from many diverse people - fun trying to guess all the directors who show up. And a good deal of twist and turns without being disruptive to the continuum of the story. PS - the fight scene between Bowie and Perkins must have an inside joke. Old rock versus new rock. One nearly dead... etc. Please give it a try.
