Review of Hideaway

Hideaway (1995)
4/10
He sees through me

So, Jeff Goldbloom has a car crash and is dead for almost two hours before being brought back to life by an experimental procedure that's never explained. You'd think the inventor of such a procedure would be buying Bentleys for his dogs, right? Anyway, the phenomenon that starts it all is actually not unique. Hundreds of people who have had Near-Death-Experiences (NDE) claim to have seen tunnels of light and stuff, and often describe things they couldn't have seen (they're dead, remember?). Bloom's case is a little more special because he comes back with a psychic connection to a serial killer.

The problem is, I've already told you the most interesting part of the movie and I didn't even use a spoiler. Bloom's wife and daughter are so annoying that I would've understood if he just stayed dead. Alicia Silverstone plays the daughter, and tries too hard to portray a rebellious teen, but manages to only come across as a sulking, whining b**ch. The wife just stands around and constantly yells at her husband for seeing things. The "special effects" are so stupid and bad even 40's silent movies could do better.
