SPOILERS:: Although she was 16 when it was filmed, Alicia Silverstone plays a well-developed 14-yr-old who falls in love with the 28-yr-old man who is renting her parents' guest house. She is ruthless and goes to great lengths to "damage" anyone who she thinks of intruding on her turf. The bees in the darkroom. Causing her friend to fall off the horse. In a strange scene near the end, she has tied up and taped her friend to the merry-go-round ride her dad built in the attic. She ends up in an institution, after some time is apparently "well", but the look in her eye as the movie closes tells us different, very possibly stolen from the ending of Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange."
Not a particularly good film, but Silverstone performs like an old pro.
