Return to Sender proves to be nothing but dead air, an entirely too predictable, slow-paced, and misguided genre effort. Read full review

Dreck of the lowest kind — a sleazy exploitation film that is all the worse because it has somehow convinced itself that it is thoughtful and profound. Read full review
