Heavenly Creatures is interesting, weird, good and memorable. It's also a capital-A Art Film and, in my opinion, what probably helped sell Lord of the Rings because it showed that he's got range. You look at Heavenly Creatures and go "I'll bet I'll see more films by this guy" while you look at Frighteners and go "I wonder what that guy's up to." There are Goth Girls of a Certain Age who were pretty heavily into Heavenly Creatures. They don't get along well with the Goth Girls of a Certain Age who were pretty heavily into The Craft and Poison Ivy II.
