There's no one alive who'll play with the girl next door. When a 15-year-old genius learns that the girl he loves has fallen into a coma, he implants computer chips of his own design into her brain to revive her. Now, although alive, she is no longer the girl he knew--and she goes on a murderous revenge spree targeting her abusive father and all the others who have harmed her.

Critics Consensus: An uninspired departure for Wes Craven, mired by an uneven premise; beware, this is one Deadly Friend.

Reviews

Chicago Daily Herald

Rotten

By the ridiculous, obligatory shockeroo finale, we can't escape the feeling Craven has played us all for schmucks.

Rotten

Slower moving, with fewer killings and effects, Craven's new film is unlikely to draw the crowds that made Nightmare a box office phenomenon.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Eleanor Ringel Cater

Rotten

Deadly Friend is a droll inversion of the typical teen slice-and-dice formula.

Rotten

Craven took a grave premise and turned it into a tapestry of provocative deep-brain imagery: Deadly Friend is all surface.

Hartford Courant

Malcolm Johnson

Rotten

Disappointing teen horror film.
