Night Fire

This film is criminally underrated. Sure, it's weird and over-the-top and completely unbelievable; but it's a "late night" movie.

Shannon Tweed's character and her husband are going through a bit of a rough patch. Mainly because she's not kinky. So her husband hires two criminals to come to the house and pretend that their car broke down and basically have sex in front of them all weekend. I mean who hasn't been there? Right?

Like I said, the movie is far from believable but it is entertaining and very sexy. Mostly because of Rochelle Swanson. Shannon Tweed has a few good scenes too but the sex appeal belongs to Swanson in this movie.

I won't get into the ending but this movie is easily a 6/10. I don't know who the hell watches this kind of movie and then gives it a 1/10. What the hell were you expecting? Basic Instinct?

This is a low-budget erotic thriller. If you like these kinds of films you should like this one. You know who you are.

A couple struggling with their troubled marriage have their home invaded by another couple. What insures is sex and more sex. Not too explicit for genre, and certainly smarter than most in it. Contains a twist ending, and ok acting and direction. Not bad. 6/10

Although Shannon Tweed is the big name in "Night Fire", she has a limiting role here - an erotically timid, workaholic businesswoman - that doesn't allow her to be (and have) much fun (I've always thought that she is more effective as an aggressive rather than as a passive character). You keep expecting her to "cut loose", but it never really happens. Instead, the movie is completely stolen away by Rochelle Swanson as the provocative, promiscuous "bad girl". Swanson has a spectacular body - her ass in particular is unmatchable - but it is her face that really gives her most of her sexiness: it is quite expressive, and when that expression turns naughty / playful / dominant, she becomes so sexy she almost eliminates the erotic B-movie queen Tweed out of the picture! The film itself is very slow-moving and the plot doesn't stand up to much scrutiny, but Rochelle makes this worth watching. Don't miss the opening sequence, where she traps a woman in a nicely applied wrestling hold while her boyfriend is beating up her victim's boyfriend, and then she proceeds to continue his beating on her own! ** out of 4.

Shannon Tweed is a frigid wife in this one. Her husband's pretty much an abusive ass. Another couple fresh from assaulting some people on the street, stop by & attempt to "kink" Tweed up some. For one of those late-night movies, It's not that bad.
