If Alan Shapiro's The Crush is any reference, one of the most problematic things for a young male in his twenties becomes the target of a crush by a young teen girl.
In this case, getting rid of Alicia Silverstone's Adrian won't be a simple "you're a sweet kid, and very cute, but a little young..."
Not when sweet little Adrian won't take no for an answer, and has a slight streak of insanity.
The Crush is another film that's taken a long time to make the transition from DVD. In fact, it's taken two years longer than Adrian's age in the film.
Taking a very different perspective as opposed to sweet Patty McCormack's Rhoda Penmark, in the 1956 thriller, The Bad Seed, Ms Silverstone's character has hormones in full bloom, creating one of the more troublesome teen roles of the era.
An interesting set-piece (Adrian's father, played by Kurwood Smith, is restoring an old carousel in the attic, which allows a major homage to Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train, almost duplicating certain shots.
A beautiful Blu-ray presentation from Scream Factory.
