Editorial Review - Description
Fantasy, desire and manipulation make for a savory-yet-volatile cocktail in this psychological thriller about a woman held captive by a man who loves her. First-time writer-director Jennifer ChambersLynch (The Diary of Laura Palmer) brings "stylistic flair" (The Washington Post) to this haunting, erotic tale of love and lust that straddles the fine line between devotion and obsession. Nick Cavanaugh (Julian Sands, Timecode) is a brilliant surgeon who seems to haveit allmoney, looks, prestigebut all he wants is someone he can't have a voluptuous, cold-hearted seductress: Helena (Sherilyn Fenn, Three of Hearts). After Nick fails to impress her withhis wealth, Helena is struck down by a hit-and-run driver outside his mansion. The good doctor saves her life by amputating her legs, then seizes the opportunity of her immobility to hold her prisoner. Now, he's in control of Helena's body, but not her mind, for this shrewd, quick-thinking vixen ishellbent on keeping Nick on his toes in order to foil his selfish plan to have her not only as a trophy wife but his personal Venus de Milo.
NOT A FEMALE ROCKY BALBOA
A Customer Review by show maniac
Did you hear about the one where a scorned, wanna-be lover amputates the arms and legs of the object of his desire, and this limbless wonder is then kept in a display box on his piano? This is the one and it isn't as much fun as it sounds. Turns out the whole movie is a dream. Now that's funny! You waste both your time and money. Keep this box closed.
Far any Sherilyn Fenn fan, A MUST.
A Customer Review by Broken Desire Ltd
A hate it or love it film, I would have to agree. But if your fan of Fenn, then this your movie. It's a rather slow and meticulous movie, but with the excellent photography and flat-out-I-saw-it-coming end, it's not all that bad as reviewers say it is.
You get great shots of Sherilyn in the buff, as well as Nicole Scorsese (No relation to Martin), this is just an erotic suspence flick, that, if you give enough time, you may enjoy.
