Vendetta di mezzanotte

Thy Neighbor's Wife otherwise known as Poison, otherwise known as Midnight Vendetta, otherwise known as Sex Attraction (For some reason) is a US made thriller starring Kari Wuhrer.

She stars as a woman gone mad after her husbands suicide, she becomes the house keeper for the family of woman she feels is responsible and through a series of mind games and manipulations aims on tearing them apart from the inside.

Trouble is we've seen this plot before, and we've seen it done a lot better.

Wuhrer is someone I consider to be a poor actress who contributes little beyond looking the part. Here she demonstrates that yet again and adds to the fairly high T&A levels.

It's generic, it's standard stuff and though it's not entirely terrible it's certainly take your brain out level entertainment.

The Good:

I'm a simple man, I see boobs I click like

The Bad:

Weak plot

Certain parts simply don't make much sense

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Your father didn't do it like that!

Not much of a thriller to me, this movie was very hard to understand. Anna Stewart is the wife of a business man who just lost his job to a woman from the Garrett family. Anna's husband later dies in a car accident and Anna avenges his death. She kills her husband's old boss, and then heads to the Garrett home. Anna kills the housekeeper and then takes on the housekeeper's job. What happens afterwards is very hard to understand, Anna has sex with the men in the family and slowly kills the mother of the Garrett family. This is one of the strangest movies I have ever seen. I don't recommend you watch this movie unless you want to see a lot of nudity, if you do want to watch a movie similar to this one, I would recommend that you watch Basic Instinct. Don't waste time with this so called thriller.

The box looked vaguely enticing. A revenge thriller. Well, it wasn't. It was a sorry collection of scenes cobbled together in a fashion that paid, no more than, lip service to the concept of a story line. The only thing that kept my attention was the realization (which came about 20 minutes in) that every female character in the film was going to get her kit off at some stage. Unfortunately, whilst this does happen, these scenes are interspersed between far too much "drama". Having said that, I still think this video would be far more appropriately placed behind the beaded curtain (at the local video store) than out with the serious movies.

If somebody watched scorned , then its almost same story, but the ending of scorned is way better than this stupid movie.

anyhow , both movies has some really hot woman with hot boobies. some weird acting and stupid end plot, but still its good.

This movie is a direct rip-off of "Scorned", which in turn was itself a direct rip-off of "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle"; they even hired an Andrew Stevens lookalike to play the husband. To give you an idea of its quality, I will elaborate on the "bloodless" murder a previous reviewer talked about, and tell you that it must also be the first stabbing in the history of cinema that is executed without a knife! Yes, I swear, play the scene frame-by-frame and you'll see that when Wuhrer is supposed to be stabbing the housemaid to death, she isn't actually holding anything! Maybe that explains the lack of blood. But that's not all; the dialogue that's used to show us how the family is in a constant state of crisis is forced, awkward and delivered at the most inappropriate moments. The script is totally by-the-numbers, with every plot point telegraphed in advance (the "evil woman" seduces the father and the son, makes friends with the daughter, causes health problems for the mother, etc.). Despite all that, the film IS ultimately worth seeing, for one reason alone: Kari Wuhrer. With her pretty face, voluptuous and supple figure, and insinuating voice, she manages the no-small-feat of being just as sexy when she is dressed as when she is naked. She certainly blows Shannon Tweed out of the water in any case. (*1/2)
