...reporter" for the sleaze show Hard Copy. In Britain the rumor rags were resplendent: sicko jacko, cried Thursday's Daily Star ("The Newspaper That Cares"); wacko jacko screamed the Sun. In the U.S. the baiting was a bit more genial. "Suddenly," Howard Stern told his nationwide radio audience, "Pee-wee Herman is an upright citizen." And Jay Leno on the Tonight Show noted, "Someone said when you hear the name Michael Jackson it epitomizes all that's kind and good. So did the name Heidi until a month...

("First I want to just strip and rape Mark and Brian. I want my two bitches laying there in the cold, naked...
...general, the direction skillfully manipulates time and distance to create moments of pee-in-your-pants terror. From the ominous overhead shots of Chicago's freeways to the imposing grayness of the University of Illinois, the dark backdrop intensifies the terror. And terror abounds, most notably during Helen's psychiatric exam and her memorable first kiss with Candyman (his mouth is filled with bees). The soundtrack by Philip Glass is appropriately haunting...
