August 18, 2009The snakes really freaked me out. And the weird thing is that I am not afraid of snakes in real life. I jumped so much during those scenes though...

February 24, 2009A completely unnecessary that I watched to see if paedophilia can be learned (a feral Kristen Stewart is 13 here). Too bad the Juliette Lewis sex scene is balls and Sharon Stone does nothin. Give it a miss, fellas.

February 4, 2009Despite the presence of Juliette Lewis, Dennis Quaid, and Sharon Stone, Cold Creek Manor just comes off as a made-for-tv movie. A boring made-for-tv movie. It's predictable and unforgivably dull.
The plot is as cliche as it is thin. A husband and wife move from the city to a la...( read more) -
March 7, 2008Not bad just painfully dull and predictable. City couple go off to live a new life in the country "Oooooh". There they find pretty much everyone is a country hick sick of these cityslickers "WOW". Then Stephen Dorff starts acting creepy. The film gets one star for the performance...( read more)

December 29, 2007Only caught this one part way through, but thought it was a pretty watchable film, perhaps a little corny, but Stephen Dorff played the bad guy pretty well.

November 9, 2009Sharon stone is not as good as she was but shes ok, the story is typical, but the characters brought out a sense of new to this old story

October 21, 2009I Haven't seen it yet, but Im going to! The one thing i love though, is that Kristen Stewart's charater's name is Kristen. I think that is so cool.

The only things haunting this movie are cliches. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
At the beginning, Cold Creek Manor almost makes you believe it could deliver all that and more. Instead, it follows the weary, well-worn path of so many contemporary scare-fests. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Quaid does his level best with a lame character, but Stone sinks under the weight of a thankless role. full review
September 19, 2003
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Another one of those movies where a demented fiend devotes an extraordinary amount of energy to setting up scenes for the camera. full review
September 19, 2003
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
The film is a disquieting and often very funny examination of yuppie unease in the country. The problem is, it's disguised as a dopey suspense thriller. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Quaid ... caps his recent string of successes with one of the most irritating and useless movie heroes of all time. full review

June 3, 2007This film was really good. It was such a brilliant thriller! I loved that it kept you guessing, and kept you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. I would certainly recommend it to anyone! I loved it.

March 26, 2007Stephen is dull in this one... he didn't look good in this movie... and his acting was a bit wooden at points...
