Standout Aspects

Acting

Joanne Whalley commits harder than this script deserves.

Production

Shot-for-TV aesthetic with delusions of theatrical grandeur.

Best for:Solo: Irony-soaked midnight viewing with wine and regret.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry you'll never remember.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Uncomfortable therapist-patient power dynamics played as erotic.·Violence: Sudden late-film bloodshed feels tacked-on for genre credibility.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Released at the tail end of the erotic thriller boom, this UK production tried to ride Fatal Attraction's coattails through Blockbuster shelves. It didn't.

Trivia

Director David Green spent most of his career in British television; this remains his only theatrical feature. The evidence suggests mutual agreement on that decision.
