Sexy B Movie. Olivia D'abo is hot !
Added 5/13/2007
First of all, nothing new about the plot. You should have seen it in dozen other similar movies. A drifter came into small town looking for a job. Got a job with a couple. The husband is abusive. The wife is seductive. You can guess the rest. But Olivia D'abo and Susan Anspach show their assets several times and the bedroom scenes is quite engaging. So with better than average performances and two beautiful actress in nude this DVD should satisfy fans of this genre.
The DVD is in full screen only, but the picture is acceptable. The 2.0 mono sound is quite clear. Not bad for a budget DVD. Collectable.

Beautiful Movie
Added 7/10/2006
Being originally from Watertown, NY this movie was very nostalgic for me.
It's set in some small wintery town with lots of forests around, the local diner, a cozy big old lodge, etc..
It's also set in the dead of winter so there's a lot of snow around.
Snow and wintery conditions have the ability to create a sort of mysterious atmosphere for movies such as in "The Shining" and "The Thing".
It's like the environment itself becomes a major player in the movie.
Add in the two beautiful girls and a very intriguing story and you've got all of the ingredients for a great movie.
The image on the cover of the dvd looks like the god Vulcan who is the god of fire. This ties in with the story since we can see the mysterious hand of fate working behind the scenes and far beyond human comprehension.
One of my favorite things about this movie was the song they play during the closing credits. "One More Kiss Dear" or something like that.
There was a lot of great music around before rock and roll even existed.

BACK IN THE FRYING PAN
Added 1/21/2006
With more twists than a pretzel, this low budget erotothriller isn't as bad as I had thought it would be. Lee Montgomery (a child actor earlier in his career, billed himself as Lee Harcourt Montgomery), plays an out of work musician who stops in a small diner, flirts with the sexy waitress (sultry Olivia d'Abo) and gets a job offer from a macho rancher (Art Hindle). Seems like the former handyman disappeared and a new one is needed. Wade, the drifter, takes the job from Dirk and meets his aging beauty wife, played with reckless abandon by Susan Anspach (Rosalind). Well, it's not too long before good old Wade is bedding both the waitress, Leyette, and Rosalind. He also discovers that Dirk is nasty to his wife, she showing up with bruises and cuts. Although Wade suggests that Rosalind call the police or leave Dirk, she suggests something better: let's murder him!
Dirk is reluctant at first but a series of events leads him to accept the challenge but things aren't quite what they seem. The movie is lethargic at times, but it's clever plotting and twists make it worthwhile.

Had to see it, just to rate it
Added 8/13/2004
B movie but the plot was nice. A young musician, out of work and driving down a road stops at a bar and manages to get a job as a hanyman at a lodge managed by a quarrelsome married couple. This film has a few interesting twists, reminiscent of "Diabolique".
Actually from the cover of the DVD and the story line, I thought this might be a werewolf movie. Wrong!
The photography was good at times and then bad. I got the feeling that it was either hit or miss from the director's chair on this one. Rent, don't buy.
