I saw this film on a DVD screener and I was quite impressed. Being a film noir buff, Mr. Ackerman did an outstanding job in capturing the flavor of the noir look and feel. Seeing Kurtwood Smith is always a pleasure to watch and Mr. Ackerman's team of actors and actresses I found, retained the feel of the people trapped in predictaments that they have advertidly or inadvertidly created for themselves. Examples would be "Detour," "Double Indemnity" and "Laura." The well-written dialouge makes "Lonely Place" feel like your stepping back into time and yet, it could be a situation that could be an event that takes place on the front page of tomorrow's morning newspaper. An outstanding job. I look forward to his future work.

Outrageous! I had only heard of this film and by luck I got a copy of it! Weird, wild, demented...yes, it's all of these, but the strangest thing is the DWARF LOOKS LIKE A MINIATURE VERSION OF JACK BLACK! Watch his mannerisms! Especially when the dwarf chortles and drools with glee in the toy shop. Amazing! I couldn't stop laughing at this picture! The mother is this bizarre Norma Desmond song and dance cast-off. Creepy! This movie should be remade today with Black as the dwarf, Joan Cusack as the mother, John Cusack as the writer/husband, Jennifer Anniston as the wife, bring back David Lynch from whatever abyss he's hiding in to direct and have Roger Corman produce it. NOW THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT.
