A Esposa de Outro Homem

Sofer plays a business executive holidaying with her husband and teenage daughter in a remote woodland cabin being psychologically terrorised by the gregarious caretaker/ fireman with the prominent cheekbones and an apparent axe to grind (Runyan).

Sofer is a highly experienced TV actress and it's apparent she knows how and when to hit her marks in a physical role whilst delivering dialogue, but the character lacks emotional depth and is unconvincing. A one-dimensional victim struggling to get to grips with an accident she caused several years earlier whilst driving into work (seen via repetitive flashbacks which grow more detailed as the film progresses).

Formula telemovie remains taut and is reasonably good at ratcheting up the tension, creating enough discomfort to keep the audience engaged and anticipating the worst (notwithstanding some situations that are much too contrived and implausible to be even remotely believable). Needed something more to stand apart from the rest, but it's watchable in spite of its flaws.
