An acid rain forces the four Sliders to seek shelter in a haunted alternate version of the Chandler Hotel. Throughout the night, our heroes and heroine have some disurbtingly close encounters with some mighty strange characters, including a neurotic ghost. The situation worsens when unseen forces wreak havoc on the foursome's timer--and Colin (Charlie O'Connell) finds himself unable to resist the lure of crossing over into the spirit world. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Director Stan Dragoti, whose forte is plumbing the depths of the male psyche, plumbs those depths once again in She's Out of Control. Tony Danza stars as Doug Simpson, a broadcasting executive who has trouble adjusting to the fact that his fifteen-year-old daughter Katie (Ami Dolenz) is blossoming into a sexual being. This realization kicks in after his fiancee Janet (Catherine Hicks) takes Katie for a makeover; suddenly she appears before Doug looking like a sultry super model. Now Doug is unable to look at his daughter as anything other than as a sexy chick, and he spends his time fending off packs of horny suitors while dictating morality to Katie. It finally gets to the point where Doug consults with television psychiatrist Dr. Fishbinder (Wallace Shawn), who recommends that Doug read a book he has written for single fathers, advising him, "If you're a slow reader, you better put your daughter on the pill." ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
