The Crush is a 1993 American psychological thriller film written and directed by Alan Shapiro, which stars Cary Elwes as Nick Eliot and Alicia Silverstone as Adrian Forrester, in her feature film debut. When writer Nick Eliot moves to a new city for a magazine job, Adrian Forrester, the teenage daughter of the landlords whose guesthouse he rents, instantly makes her attraction to Nick clear. Nick has trouble fending off Adrian's advances, and as her obsession grows, the situation becomes increasingly dangerous. The Crush was produced by Morgan Creek Productions and released by Warner Bros. on April 2, 1993. The film received mostly negative reviews from critics on release, but was a box office hit. It became especially popular through the video rental market, and showings on cable television. In subsequent years it has been labeled a cult film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
