Boring!
A serial killer (whose methods, though gruesome, resemble in no way the atmospheric case for this disc) is carving up women. Ron Perlman slowly investigates, but the main plot concerns ignored housewife Claudia Christian. When her husband hares off again on another trip, she has a torrid one-nighter with a pick-up at her tennis club. This is a bad move, since the toyboy is a killer, and he begins to stalk Christian Fatal Attraction-style, while the police begin to suspect her husband is the killer they want. <

>Things look bad right form the start, as the credits play over a song that sounds like it was burped up from the darkest recesses of the 1980s. Things don't pick up noticeably from there, as the plot proceeds down tired plot paths, and does so sluggishly. Boring. <

>Special feature are nothing but trailers for Dark Heaven, Diamond Hunters and One Eyed King. The menu is basic. <

>Yawn. Professional in just about every respect, but a boring exercise in going through the motions, dosed with heavy cheese.

Well...
A lonely housewife unknowingly has a one nighter with her best friend's killer. Obsession, stalking and death ensue. Before you can say that's all there is, that's pretty much all there really is. Standard story lines apply: adulterer's guilt and fear, spouse's anger and disbelief, killer's mother fixation, etc, etc (you get the idea). Lead performances range from decent enough (Corbin Bernsen, Claudia Christian) to over the top (Nicholas Celozzi, or I should say `over kill' since he plays the killer). TV B movie quality. Ron Perlman has a small role as a Detective and gives his character some nice quirks (it wouldn't surprise me if they weren't scripted and he did them simply to entertain himself). Buy it cheap for one of those on hand "rainy day" movies.

Fairly good up until the very end.
This is a pretty good mid-budget film about a married woman played by Claudia Christian who has an affair with a looney-tune. She suspects that not only is the crazy-man is stalking her but that he has been killing other women. Ron "Hellboy" Pearlman shows up as the detective investigating the murders. <

>The movie is fairly interesting and has an interesting cast: Corbin Bernsen as the husband and Dick Van Patten (remember "8 is Enough"?) as the family friend. But then the movie commits hari-kiri at the end in a way that makes the whole exercise a waste of time. Too bad. <

>At least Claudia C. looks really good in this film.
