"R" rated/"unrated" garbage is not what is advertised as both version hardly has any nudity and couldn't hold a candle to any erotic thrillers of video/cable era. It runs like a bad movie of the week with stock footage of nudity from other Roger Corman films tacked in at the end. (One scene is from HOMOCIDLE IMPULSE)! Don't let the cast fool you, this one is boring, and choppy edited and bad sound and photography. Not to mention bad acting and "nail your camera down to the ground" directing, and the film has nothing to do with the first film, which was very good. The supporting cast has small parts and the rest of film just drags on and on. Begining credit also has some faceless (face not shown) nude body that was used in another Corman film (which I forgot the name). If you want to see a erotic thriller, rent a good Shannon Whirry or Shannon Tweed film, and skit this 5th rate TV-ish film. This film will put you to sleep and wish you never spend $.99 renting it. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED. What a waste of film. Kind of ruined my day seeing this trash on tape.

mark.waltz1 December 2021Not all thrillers are thrilling. This is one of the most repulsive excuses for a neo noir thriller that gives veteran actor Barry Bostwick an absolute wretched character to play, setting up the murder of wife Lesley Anne Down so he can continue his affair with her barely past teenage succubus of a stepdaughter, your typical L. A. Lolita who makes Amy Fisher seem like a Disney princess. Robin Riker is an annoying trainwreck in this role, a nymphette so easy to see through, and Bostwick would seem like a disgusting pig just ogling her without going for the gold.
The film is loud and obnoxious and Incredibly unbelievable, an embarrassment for the veteran actors Bostwick and Down who at least has very little screen time so she can come off relatively unscathed. Michael Gross and Matt McCoy co-star as others involved in the compost of a plot. Teresa Hill figures into Riker's schemes in a weak homoerotic twist that is another presentation on screen of lesbians as sociopathic killers. The script is horrendously bad, the direction dreadful, and the only reason why I do not give this a bomb is that it has several elements of it that are campy. It's one of those films where you really don't care what is going on to make Bostwick act so crazy. -
TaxiDoes16 September 2001Enough twists to keep you watching, and it has a nice payoff at the end. Some of the acting is weak, but Teresa Hill is quite good... and very sexy. There's also a brief cameo by Lisa Kudrow as a bank teller. The writing is way above average for this type of genre, but the direction and soundtrack are rather t.v. like.

jonpd31 October 2002Ultimately strange film that could have easily been titled something differently (I don't see any similarities in the original story). I also don't understand why such good actors as Bostwick, Down, Gross, and McCoy are in this mess. It's not entirely that bad, but it's also not that good. Teresa Hill is a sexy little thing, indeed. But Bostwick?? Come on... I don't like watching the guy on ROCKY HORROR and SPIN CITY degrade himself like this. Standard, predictable plot with okay writing and direction. Gross is almost unrecognizable in this role. Anyhow, worth watching just for the sake of killing time...and a slow time it will be. 3/10
