Faces in the Crowd

Tedious and profoundly ridiculous

A scenery-chewing Milla Jovovich leads a cast of fellow B-actors in this tedious, profoundly ridiculous horror-suspense drama about a woman who witnesses a serial killing, gets a bop on the head and suffers from a neural aliment called prosopagnosia, rendering her unable to recognize faces. (Doctor’s note: This is a real but rare condition that exists primarily in the brains of writers of cheesy horror-suspense screenplays.) She must then navigate every cliché in the book (including falling in love with the investigating cop) to outwit the bad guy and reach the laughable but highly welcome final scene.
