Review of Lying in Wait

Lying in Wait (2001)
9/10
a nifty little thriller
28 March 2002
Obviously a low budget film that went straight to video, but hugely better than most that fit that bill, and better than many so-called studio thrillers as well. While it's not jump in your seat scary, it's more creepy, foreboding, and surprisingly literate. How many movies quote from "Day of the Locust" which ties into the plot as well. This movie is saying quite a bit, I think, about Hollywood, illusion and reality, etc. And it's got Virginia Madsen showing us her thong underwear on the beach!
