The Crush

This movie is great. I watch it all the time, the fight in the basement I fast forward but it’s super hilarious. It’s a comedy for me, she did a great job in this movie.

THE MOVIE ITSELF:The Crush is a solid movie. It's quite an excellent psychotic thriller. It's a slow burn that is paced with believability. The thrills both intrigue and shock the viewer. Alicia Silverstone is beyond excellent and perfectly captures the heart and mind of a psychotic teen driven by emotion and imbalance all mixed with a special dichotomy of juvenility and maturity. I think Cary Elwes is great in the movie too. He doesn't over play or under play his role. We see the story through his eyes and he creates a convincing ordinary guy caught up in something deeper than he could imagine. The only thing I don't like about the movie is Elwes' accent. It sounds part Southern and part British. At certain moments it will move from a normal to one of the other 2 oddities. It still doesn't affect how good the movie is. And even though it is unusual it is kind of interesting.THE BLU RAY ITSELF:I love Shout Factory and all the work they do to bring cult movies back to life. There is an "issue" with the audio in this film. But it only bothered me in 5.1 surround sound. Watching it in 2.0 was fine. And I enjoy The Crush so much that the audio didn't affect the film for me. The video quality of the Blu Ray is excellent. It is sharp and pops the colors like the DVD never could. The extras are slim (which is kind of a let down because Shout Factory has managed to do amazing extras for other films) but a few extras are better than none. I would have enjoyed an interview with Alicia Silverstone or Cary Elwes. But it's for.the movie itself that I purchased the Blu Ray, not the extras.FINAL OPINION:All in all The Crush is a well crafted thriller evoking the psychosis of an insane girl whose false reality is more powerful than adult reality itself. Once we discover what our "hero" is really up against with this evil teenage creature it sends disturbing ripples through the whole film. We are swimming in dark water that is filled with a diabolical pubescent female shark. The viewer starts looking for any movement beneath the surface because we don't know when or how those dangerous teeth will strike again. That cold dark water will soon be foaming with red hot blood. Just when you thought it was safe to rent a guest house... THE CRUSH. Bwahahahaha...

This is a fun and entertaining movie about a relationship between a teen and a single adult border who rents a room. Her advances are initially accepted (though not encouraged) and then as she recognizes he’s got a mature women as a girlfriend, hell breaks loose. Alicia Silverstone plays seductive and reactionary in this role. The movie is done well, but certainly a ficticiuos scenario. Having this on Laser Disc, I upgraded to BluRay because the movie was fun.

The item was as expected... good and deliverd on time... 👍

Great movie came in perfect condition haven’t seen it in so long so was excited when I got it

This was a great movie for Alicia Silverstone's feature film! I think she was about 17 @ the time (she played a 14 year old ) but played the role really well in all her childish & immaturity parts, she is an excellent actress! Cary Elwes was also excellent in this movie. I never knew he was English.. Overall, Alicia is basically obsessed with Cary & she goes crazy to try to get his girlfriend out of the picture thinking that she can have him herself.. I thought the whole movie was done excellent, no boring parts.. I've watched it at least twice.. A+

I got it for Alicia Silverstone. The actress who plays the male lead's girflriend does some interesting things and is rather charming.And the main lead? The male lead? The guy's name is Elwes, I believe. I only wish the director could have asked him to wipe that dumb grin from his face. Oh yeah, fake curls (over either eye) do not make actors(in their 30s) suddenly look to be in their 20s. This sort of thing gets to be annoying--and is witnessed (usually) in turkey flicks like this.As I said, the only real reason to see this is Alicia Silverstone, although, to be sure, she got better looking as she got older and matured as a woman.Got the DVD quite cheap--otherwise would have probably passed on it.

Undoubtedly one of the most overlooked movies of the 90's. Alicia place the role of Darien Forrester, a beautiful, intelligent, yet eccentric girl who falls for the 28 year old Nick Elliot, an eager ad-hoc journalist looking to make a name for himself played by Cary Elwes. Silverstone's deep grey eyes and sinister looks at times tell the story of a deranged and lost women and at times I found myself sympathetic to Darien. Probably the most important part of this is that The Crush was the first to show stalking whereas the perpetrator is a TEENAGE GIRL who stalks an OLDER MAN; thereby breaking stereotypes and tropes. The other characters I enjoyed like Kurtwood Smith, Darien's unaware yet caring father, and the stern but fair boss of Nick Matthew Walker, who reminded me of Captain Picard. The movie also had a few dark humor scenes, particularly when Auto & Cherokee's "Taste" plays and the camera glides up Darien's blue bikini-clad body as she looks at nick with those infamous shades she wore and the rather scathing remark she made to Nick's "real" love interest Amy about men's attraction to women of certain breast size; which obviously takes Amy aback. All in all certainly a classic that should be a cult classic. I just saw AS in Clueless and I loved that too. 90'so movies rock!!!❤Isiah
