    Very odd film, Somehow manages too hook you though.

    This is a very odd film.

    But to say this would be kind of an understatement because this film is like a road accident. you really don't want to watch but somehow it hooks you in and you end up watching.

    It's got lots of sexual scenes. Some in places you would not expect sex scenes to take place and while this might please some viewers it doesn't help make the film any better.

    I didn't find this film entertaining in the true sense of the word but it did help to pass the time.....



    Definitely a film for insomniacs and people who just can't sleep.

    I own this movie

    Like the previous posters, the movie starts of EXCELLENT then tapers off. Tom's girlfriend is ANNOYING as hell which is why I can't empathise with her insecurities about her and Toms' future. She is about as nutty as the main character.

    Kaye/Connie was an excellent character, but the gratuitous sex scenes are really unnecessary.

    I am always happy to see Margot Kidder working but her role in this movie isn't one of her best works.

    If you like campy cheesy movies this is the one for you. It DOES hold your attention no matter how many times you have seen it to the end so that is why I rate it a four.

    A Movie That Begins as a Good Thriller, and Ends Like a Mexican Soap-Opera

    Kaye (Kate Vernon) meets private Connie (Nancy Cser) in a bar, while watching television news. The matter is about the death of a soldier, and the grief of his family. Pretty soon, she defends Connie and herself against the inconvenient insistence of a man inviting them to have a drink with him, using a pocket knife. The next scene shows Kaye arriving in the town where the family of the dead soldier lives, wearing Connie's uniform and identity. She presents herself to the family as being his fiancée while he was in the Army, and is invited by the family to stay in his home. She gets close to his young sister Gail (Ashleigh Ann Wood), seduces his brother Tom (Patrick Dempsey) and convinces his parents Evelyn (Margot Kidder) and Arthur (Alan Royal) that she is a nice girl. Meanwhile, Julie (Krista Bridges), former girlfriend of Tom investigates her past. Surprising revelation will be presented in the end. This movie has a very intriguing presentation and confrontation, mixing thriller with some erotic and hot scenes, with Kate Vernon performing a very amoral woman. However, after the plot point II, the resolution of the story is ridiculous, ending like a Mexican soap-opera. Kate Vernon is beautiful and sexy and has a good performance with her mysterious character, but unfortunately she can not support such ending. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "A Desconhecida" ("The Unknown (Woman)")

    Ups and downs

    Like a bloodknot, this sometimes gets clogged up (no pun intended), so you can imagine there being some ups and downs too. But if you are a fan of thriller movies in general, you may give this a try to say the least. There are some interesting casting choices - interesting as in nice.

    Still this is not an example of major acting or major storytelling - but I would assume that you do know that or should know that before you watch this. Some nice twists along the way and the story moves on nicely. Seen worse for sure - oh yeah there is quite a bit of nudity. Whatever that means for you (good or bad that is)

    Utterly repulsive

    This movie was absolutely disgusting. Typical C list movie but with a disgusting plot twist that had half sibling incest and a kiss plotted on the main character Mothers mouth by the villain/daughter that made it so much very worse. I'm so confused as to what I just watched and had I known prior to the beginning, I'd had never even attempted. It wasn't even that bad in the beginning, though mediocre and predictable of a Lifetime movie, this had all the potential of perhaps a tubi special but in the end couldn't even pull that off, For ME. I'm an addict for love triangles and illicit affair movies. I draw the line at this type of movie. I'm sure others might enjoy this type of incestuous nonsense, but it's far from entertaining IMO.

    • Trivia
      When the character purchases beer in the variety store he tosses a case of Formosa beer over his shoulder. This beer is made by the Brick Brewing Company of Waterloo Ontario Canada. Obviously filmed in the province of Ontario, it's worth noting that beer cannot be purchased in variety stores in that province to this day.
