Public Access poster

Released in 1993, Public Access is a thriller and drama film directed by Bryan Singer, running about 90 minutes. “Is it wise to talk to strangers?” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Brewster seems to be an almost too perfect example of idyllic small-town America, with everyone living in peace and harmony. So when newcomer Whiley Pritcher starts up his own local cable TV show with the question "what's wrong with Brewster?", there surely can't be any deep dark secrets in the town that are just waiting to come to the surface - or can there? And when the question becomes "who's wrong with Brewster?" things start getting seriously nasty.

Who’s in it. Public Access stars Ron Marquette as Whiley Pritcher, Burt Williams as Bob Hodges, Leigh Hunt as Intersect Host and John Renshaw as Jock Talk Host, among others.
