Featured review
My review was written in October 1991 after watching the movie on Columbia TriStar video cassette.
This gothic thriller makes absolutely no sense but delivers the sexy goods for genre fans.
Tanya Roberts retains her status as queen of the unrated video, though Shannon Tweed is coming on strong (even sequelizing Roberts' "Night Eyes" hit).
Though director Fred Olen Ray is a film buff, this pic bears no resemblance to the series of "Inner Sanctum" thrillers made by Universal in the 1940s with Lon Chaney Jr. Instead it's a sexed-up tale of a woman in jeopardy, with many red herrings along the way.
Pic opens with Valerire Wildman (blonde femme fatale of tv's "Dangerous Women" series) attempting suicide. She falls down the stairs but survives, only to feel persecuted by her husband, Joseph Bottoms.
He hires sexy nurse Roberts to take care of Wildan, but her behavior is suspicious. Sneaky neighbor (Bret Clark) moves in next door and seems to be in league with Bottoms or Roberts.
This paranoid plot line goes for nought, since film's raison d'etre is to have as many sex scenes as possible, a formula that worked in not only Roberts' "Night Eyes" but also Tweed's plot-heavy "Last Call".
Roberts, sporting a low-down accent, is uninhibited and sexy. That her character's behavior makes no sense is unfortunate. Co-star Margaux Hemingway as Bottom's main squeeze in the office is peripheral to the plot.
Wildman, who also has a topless scene, is a find, combining distinctive beauty while ably personifying the genre's "vulnerable victim" role. Ending is arbitrary and rushed.
Columbia TriStar is marketing the video in a blue box for R-rated contents and a red box for the hotter, unrated version reviewed here.
