This is a well made movie, EXCEPT for one thing. The first 10 minutes of the movie ruin the whole thing.

Let me explain... I was staying the night in a hotel before the advent of streaming, and I wasn't about to pay for Pay-Per-View... So i started flipping the premium cable channels for a movie to watch... When I came across "Attraction" I watched a few minutes of it and was intrigued. Thing is.. It had already started and I had missed the first 8 minutes or so. It was very good.

I was so happy about seeing it, when I arrived home, I insisted we rent it from Netflix (again before streaming)... When the DVD arrived, I was so excited to share this movie with my (now ex-)wife. I popped in the DVD and was really happy to see the whole movie.

Well, long story short, Watching it from the beginning ruins the entire film. If you miss the beginning, the movie is a mystery. If you watch the beginning the mystery is exposed and the whole thing goes downhill.

If you ever get the chance to watch this gem, do yourself a favor and skip ahead 10 minutes 27 seconds... You'll be much happier, I promise.
