I need to begin with a shout out to James Foley for having directed
three terrific movies: 1987's At Close Range, 1990's
After Dark, My Sweet and1992's Glengarry Glen
Ross, still the best screen version ever of a David Mamet
play. Now for the bad news. Foley fights a losing battle with
Perfect Stranger, a dull, dumb and unforgivably dated

jealous Martha would pass herself off as his sister, a nurse. The
film spawned a cult and a 1996 Mexican remake, Deep
Crimson.

“Grindhouse†is soaked in bloody nostalgia for the cheesy, disreputable pleasures of an older form of movie entertainment.
