Suburban Beat (1985)

For something starring both Dee Wallace and the Thespian Goddess Extraordinaire Heather, this was rather lame and boring.

It isn't dramatic enough to count as a full drama and not comedic enough to count as a full comedy, so it just falls completely flat as both. Also, there are just too many characters running around, most of whom are dull as dishwater (Heather's meticulously developed and executed character, of course, being the only real exception.).

If only this had been written as a Twin Peaks episode* ...

6/10

 

*No, I don't understand what the hell this has to do with anything, either. Perhaps I just want to see Heather in a Lynch production.
