This movie was Brilliant!
bahpofficer11 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Despite the other review, this script was well-written and well executed. Cross and George are marvelous, but the writers deserve credit here. NOBODY can tell what is going to happen until it bloody well does happen! There is suspense and even a little comic relief amid the chaos as Ben Cross is going through the house with a shotgun trying to convince George's character that he can protect her.

This movie has such a diabolical plot that it is so worth watching. I got my copy from Ioffer.com and it's worth it! I love it when you really cannot tell who did WHAT right up until the end! You have intrigue, people trying to get at each other, the finger pointing and the whole tamale, but you will NOT FIGURE out who did what until the end! I'm not going to spoil it but Cross was brilliant!

Where is this film?
mancalleddog13 November 2006
A few years back (circa the mid 1990s), this got major play on Showtime and now anyone I talk to has never heard of it. And to add insult to injury, anytime I had set the vcr (pre dvr/tivo days for me) to record the film something always happened (i.e. power outtage, unruly guest decides to change channel without asking, crummy OVERUSED videotape, etc, etc!). I have only seen the first 40 minutes or so and can say that the film had a strangely cold atmosphere that clashed nicely with the sunny Euro location (Luxemborg, Belgium Or Brittany, France, I believe..it's been a good decade since I've seen this portion of the film). The only other thing I can add is that the film, for some reason, reminded me of the 70's creeper 'W' (with Twiggy). Here's hoping that someone with knowledge of the film can post a better, more elaborate review so that I can decide if it's worth searching out. From time to time an Ebayer does sell this sans video box, cover or description but I'll wait for an official release (I dig Benji Cross & Susan George and want a video case with their mugs on it.)
