I remembered this fondly from my high school days, but more remarkable now for the fact that the lead character, a high school cheerleader, was actually not in her mid-twenties when they filmed it. The effects range from hokey to ewwwwwww!!, and the cold war government conspiracy angle still plays pretty well.

All in all, a decent flick, and Frank Darabont co-wrote it, in an out-of-character turn away from Stephen King prison movies. Three stars.

I’ve been borrowing this Season 1 set from a friend of mine, and I have to say, it’s quite addictive. Thanks, Kelli!

BTW, the Alias DVD image brought to you by the excellent wp-amazon!
