I love this movie so much

What makes it different from others?

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

A business executive gets mixed up with a killer female and her lesbian roommate, who plot to take over his fashion business.I thought this had potential, with C. Thomas Howell and Ed Begley. And maybe if I gave it another chance, I would like it more. But overall I find it rather blah and not even a bad cameo from Carrot Top could save it.Maybe some day I will see this again and give it a better, more thorough review. But all I really thought was it was neither good nor bad and largely forgettable. I suppose it might even be better to be bad and memorable than average and forgettable...

This film isn't half that bad. Howell who graduated to B movies many years, has also managed to direct a couple. He was a director and co writer on this one, where a couple of recognizable stars pop up, some who've been in hiding for so long. It's some pretty interesting casting here. What we have is Howell who's head of a fashion business, in partnership with his brother, comedian Anthony Clark, falling for a femme fatale, Shinas, a devious sex pot who has big plans to destroy Howell and take over his business. Dead bodies of employees, start appearing and Howell, who has a weakness for beautiful women, is a prime suspect, where it's a race against time, to find out who's the murderous hand. Some scenes here are completely unwarranted, but Hourglass has a style about it, and a quite interesting storyline, yet also a not such happy ending for Howell. Johhny Venocur is a laugh as one of Howell's, soon to be dead employees.

Hourglass is a great movie! I loved it! C. is a great actor and writer. I hope he never stops writing or acting he's way too good to quit. All you's peeps out there readin' this buy da movie rent it, borrow it whatever just see it you won't regret it. Even if you don't like it's only ones opinion.

C Thomas "Ponyboy" Howell starred in this, wrote it, directed it, and who knows what else. The question is why?Although the movie is not that long (thankfully), it manages to eat up several unprecious minutes on a racquetball game, the outcome of which has no bearing on the plot or character development. (Just as well, because we can't really see how they're doing). Killed a few more minutes watching all four drives on a golf hole. Killed a few more with some psycho martial-arts lesbians beating up Ponyboy.Plot? You bet. Let's see, kickboxing lesbians plot to take over fashion company and have sex on top of people on life support. Or something like that. Suffice it to say it won't be confused with "The Magnificent Ambersons" any time soon.In addition to the other obvious problems, the movie also features cameos by "Carrot Top" and Donny Most. Mercifully, Potsie and Danny Bonaduce did not appear, but may be lined up for the sequel. (The movie ends with the promise of further adventures ......... I'm on pins and needles.)
