Deadbolt

Just a real bad clone of Misery, just the genders switched around. Now the psychopath movies are getting cliched. Baldwin is the dime-a-dozen psychopath, and he's locking his love in her room whilst murdering off her only points of contact. Now she's trying to get out, while he cuts away every attempt. Please, just watch Misery. Same thing, just a lot creepier and enjoyable than this.

Well i was flicking through channels on SKY when i came across a movie called Deadbolt on the Horror Channel,to be honest its more Psychological than horror in my opinion.But its good,i reckon anyway,and no i haven't seen misery,but Deadbolt is good.I am surprised its 12 years old,for a Film made in 1993 its pretty good picture.I haven't really heard of any of the actors in Deadbolt seems to me most of them are just Groupies including Alec Baldwin by groupies i mean people who walk around in the background while a big scene is happening,or actors that take little short lived parts in the film.

I will be watching!

I used to like the character the Justine Bateman played in that Michael Fox sitcom...She was like a small jewel that plays relief to the main stone of the setting. Now she's supposed to be the main stone but in my opinion doesn't even come close to rising to the occasion. She's pale and confused. Sometimes I thought that she paused long enough before responding to effect complete break in character...has she forgotten her lines? So, what seemed a very shallow made for TV movie, was made even less exciting by a pretty slack performance. Nothing worth a real analysis here. Just don't waste your time.

This movie is fantastic. Cast was excellent gets right into it with a shocking start this film gives U more than U could possibly want unlike other obsession films that take the same old story and try and make it a mystery even we all know whats going to happen this film pushes U into a soaking atmosphere which U are sucked into It uses its screen time amazingly. This film is misery, single white female, fatle attraction on crack it's fantastic like come on it was a made for tv film with a tiny budget yet still makes the absolute best use of it unlike theatre releases like fatal attraction, misery yet still over comes them this film is a much watch also if U like deadbolt U should look into watching another fantastic made for tv film called cupid just as amazing.

Marty (Justine Bateman of Family Ties) is searching for a roommate after someone breaks into her place. After her first choice is found murdered, she lets psychotic Alec (Adam Baldwin, known for NOT being one of the Baldwin brothers) move in. At first he seems too good to be true and they enjoy a romantic tryst, much to the chagrin of Marty's jealous over-protective ex-boyfriend. Then he begins to show his true colors.

This movie was an extremely generic, strictly by-the-book thriller. Woman-in-peril? check. Jealous suspicious ex-lover? Check Romantic affair with a guy whom turns out to be nuts? Double check.And as such, it's extremely predictable. You know how they're going to get from point A to point B to C. So no tension to be had, leading to boredom and apathy to why you even watched this lame film in the first place.

My Grade: D
