Kate's Addiction

I saw this film at the Newport Beach Film Festival where the writer, director, producer was awarded the "Filmmaker of the Future Award." When you watch the movie, it's amazing to think he made the film for $74,000. It looks great...the acting is great. I remember during the question and answer session following the film, the director said he wished he had more time to do a production rewrite. I think he found out just how hard it is to make a indie film with credit cards. My hats off to him...the film is great. I loved Kari Wuhrer.

For a direct to video movie, what can we really expect? But with Kari Wuhrer in it, well then it does make it worthwhile to rent. Me being a Kari fan, I bought the DVD. The story is a good one here but the acting around Kari and Wings' Farrah Forke is really really bad. Lots of bad continuity throughout the flick as well. But if you can sit through the minor glitches like that and accept the bad acting around the two main stars, I think you may like it. But you have to keep in mind it is basically a B movie. Us Kari Wuhrer fans though will enjoy the lesbian scene in this movie which is what we all basically wait for and know will happen. Like I said though, B movie all over it. So if you are expecting something stellar then I say pass on it, but if you like Kari Wuhrer and don't mind low budget flicks with a pretty good storyline, then rent it. I would give the film a 6 out of 10 and 3 of those are added for Kari baby. Always remember that when it comes to Kari Wuhrer..her movies are rated "R" but she always puts a little "X" in them. Betrayel,Seduction,Jealousy,Revenge and oh ya T & A, all wrapped up in this flick.

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)...
