First time I saw this LMN movie and it proved to be the standard fare - frustrated wife and mother ignored by husband, cute kid, and good looking love/lust interest.
However, I found the following items rather unique:
1. The graphic depiction of sex (for LMN) - usually it is implied, or if shown, the man and woman are clothed. The sex scenes here were the opposite (although there was no censorable nudity).
2. A reason was given for the psycho's behavior, unpleasant as it was.
3. The relationship between the husband and wife.
Recommend to watch at least once, but don't expect a Hollywood Blockbuster.

Well it has horrible plain dialogues, plot and you are searching for some erotic in it.
It is not thrilling either and at least the german version had a really bad syncro.
(no worries there is no way i can spoiler the plot, because its such a bad generic plot)
That is one of the movies you shouldnt even watch, when you have nothing better to do, because even then you will feel how much time you have wasted.

...first at all..my girlfriend choose this film to watch...she liked soap-style movies with a bit of thrill....my pain barrier is high....but after aprox. 20 minutes i had to stand up and go to the back porch,because the movie is so trashy (in the very bad way..not like trashy but GOOD..acting,script,etc)...even my girlfriend came in a few minutes later...what a sick-making movie..waste of time and lost of good mood !!
CONCLUSION : Don´t watch this movie,...its completely rubbish and disgustig
in every sense,trust me ( i can´t remember watch a movie wich is even more worse)
This film begins with a bored housewife by the name of "Laura Halpern" (Sarah Butler) starting to suspect that her husband "Greg Halpern" (Peter Benson) is having an affair with his secretary "Hannah Jonkins" (Lucie Guest). At around the same time, she meets a young man named "Elliott Graverston" (Marcus Rosner) who agrees to work as a handyman on a project in her kitchen. One thing eventually leads to another, and Laura has an affair with him which she quickly comes to regret. Unfortunately, Elliott doesn't particularly respond well to her request to break things off between them and things quickly take a turn for the worse from that point on. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was one of those films that relied upon both suspense and eroticism but, because of it's made-for-television format, was somewhat limited in that regard. It does, however, feature a good performance by Sarah Butler who definitely stood out from all of the other actors. That being said, however, she wasn't quite able to overcome the rather mediocre plot and for that reason I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly below average.

- TriviaPeter Benson and Miranda Frigon played husband and wife in the movie The Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Haunted by Murder.
- GoofsWhen Jamie falls in the water and Elliot saves him, Elliot, although not seen going into the water, should be completely wet as it is mentioned that Jamie doesn't know how to swim. Elliot's pants are almost completely dry and his shirt is only wet in the front where he was in contact with Jamie.
