THE CRUSH
LONG-AWAITED CULT CLASSIC THRILLER DEBUTS FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY™
OWN IT ON JUNE 21, 2016 FROM SCREAM FACTORY™
Here’s a release I’ll finally be able to check off my “most-wanted” list. I loved watching The Crush as a kid. The funny thing is I only vaguely remember details of the film. During the summer I would stay up until like 4:00 AM watching movies on cable, HBO mostly I think. Most of those movies I can’t remember, The Crush is one I definitely remember watching plenty of times, but the details as to what actually happens in the film are fuzzy. Despite not remembering what actually happens in the film, I know I love it. For years now I’ve been waiting for a Blu-ray release so I could re-visit the film and see if it’s as great as I seem to think it is. I’ll get to find out this summer, perhaps on a day where I stay up until 4:00 AM.
Romantic obsession has harrowing consequences in ‘90s cult-classic, suspense thriller THE CRUSH, written and directed by Alan Shapiro (Flipper, TV’s The Outsiders) and starring Cary Elwes (Saw, The Princess Bride, Twister), Alicia Silverstone (Clueless, Batman and Robin), Jennifer Rubin (Bad Dreams, Screamers) and Kurtwood Smith (TV’s Agent Carter, That ‘70s Show).

Synopsis:
A man who should know better. A much younger teenager. No way should there be any kind of romance between them. Yet from the moment 14-year-old Adrian met Nick, she was crazy about him. There must be something she can say or do. Some way she can show him this is not just a crush. What can she do? What won’t she do?
A captivating tale of obsession and revenge, THE CRUSH stars Cary Elwes and Alicia Silverstone in her breakthrough role. When Nick (Elwes) moves into a garage apartment in a picturesque
suburb, his landlady’s daughter (Silverstone) takes more than a passing interest in him. Her infatuation turns violent when he rejects her, and she sets out to ruin him, his work and his girlfriend. If she can’t have him, no one will.
