Mörderische Küsse

When I read the summary for this movie, I had high expectations for it. Boy was I disappointed. The only thing that saves this movie from absolute failure is the fine perfomances by Kari Wuhrer and Farrah Forke. The only thing that I found remotely interesting was the seduction scene by Kate but even that isn't enough for someone to rent this movie What annoyed me most was how predictable the ending was. It was pretty much your typical Hollywood ending. If I wanted a sissy ending, I'd go watch a Disney movie. Just for once can't the bad guys win? If you're looking for a better lesbian movie go see Bound or When Night is Falling.

When I entered our living room 2 hours ago, I found my girlfriend watching an obviously cheap American movie on TV. I told her that I wasn´t too keen on watching a bad movie on a Saturday evening, and that watching bad movies can only be fun if they´re REALLY bad. She told me to sit down and enjoy. Now I can only say: hats off to her movie instinct! We laughed ourselves silly at this huge and not quite unsuccessful attempt at shooting a totally dumb, pointless, ridiculous, unrealistic "erotic thriller", packed with so much flaws and errors, that you couldn`t possibly hammer more into a film. God, this was deliciously SO NOT believable! Best moments: the romantic and senselessly repeated boat trips of the love couple, underlined with a bad country song (must be a friend of the director); the repeated interludes with the evil female character on the phone, establishing totally useless sub-plots which are either not followed,or referred to much later ; the explanation, why the main female character had headaches for years (muhahahaha!). And they didn´t even get the sex scene right, with this strap of a bra going REPEATEDLY (ya, again) on-shoulder, off-shoulder, on-shoulder, off-...you get the picture!

Kate and Sara (Kari Wuhrer and Farrah Forke) were friends in high school. Years later, Sara has moved on with her life. Unfortunately, Kate hasn't done as well, and decides to look up her old friend.

One day, Sara is surprised when Kate shows up at her home "out of the blue". Sara is unaware that Kate is harboring a secret grudge / agenda, and will destroy anyone who stands in her way. It's immediately apparent that Kate is a psychopath who will stop at nothing to possess Sara.

Madness and murder ensue.

KATE'S ADDICTION is a well-made erotic thriller with a gloriously ruthless title character! Wuhrer plays her bonkers role with unhinged gusto.

Hellishly grand entertainment...

I'll watch anything which stars the occasionally delightful Kari Wuhrer, but this is pure dreck ~ it doesn't even look like her (which is our loss).

It intrigues me when a director claims to be an auteur by leading the credits with " A Film By Eric DelaBarre," when it really should note that it's "The Film By Eric DelaBarre."

For the chance of there being another film by this poseur seems remote.

1 Niro~Star (out of 10, only because there's no ZERO, apart from the director)...

Say what you want about Kari Wuhrer, when she tries to be she can be a fine actress. She works very well as a woman desperate to keep her place as the dominant focus in her friend's life. It is wonderful to see Farrah Forke again (remember her in Wings?). Unfortunately, the cast around them is sub-par and the script seems to be missing something, especially in the beginning. If the setup had been a little more in depth, this could have been an excellent little sleeper. As it is, there are fine performances by Wuhrer and Forke but little else to back them up. Could have been superb, but it settles for being run of the mill.
