Une extrême passion

If you've seen "Fatal Attraction" and enjoyed it, here's another version of basically the same story-line. Even though the goings-on are somewhat familiar, credit director Kristine Peterson's stylish direction for putting a few interesting new twists on it. The movie is tight and suspenseful, with some VERY HOT sex scenes thrown into the mix. Lisa Pescia makes a chilling and formidable villain and is definitely an actress to watch in the future. A very well-done "B-Movie," worth checking out.

What a disappointment. Granted that this film belongs to a genre that is not really about very intellectual plots, but even then you do expect at least something out of the whole exercise of sitting through the movie. The actress who plays the "seductress" looks awful. And the sex scenes are amazingly unimaginative.

(1990) Body Chemistry ADULT DRAMA/ THRILLER

This is the first of 4 "Body Chemistry" movies, and I'm only reviewing the VHS copy of it, starring Marc Singer as family man, Tom Redding, who works as a sex researcher. And upon Tom meeting Dr. Claire Archer (Lisa Pescia) from Washington, he begins to have an extra-marital affair with her, for the intention of getting this important contract. After Tom gets his promotion, he then tries to ignore Claire to make amends with his wife, with expected results. This is like the more erotic version of "Fatal Attraction" as well as other films about employees trying to get ahead by sleeping around with their bosses, or in this case to get a particular contract. All I'm going to say is that, to see so much of these movies can get kind of tiring. Give this movie extra stars if this movie can turn you on. Bomb.

A 1990 "Fatal Attraction" remake, with a lower budget, less attractive and less skilled actors and poorer writing and directing.

Honestly, there's very little to get excited about in this film. Even the sex scenes are pretty mundane and didn't really reach any great heights. I love a good 90's softcore movie as much - or maybe more - than the next person, but even I could barely get to the end. So much of this film seems to occur in murky darkness.

Hard to believe they made three sequels. I'll give them a go in the hopes that they will be better than the original (not that that's a high bar to clear, or anything) but I won't hold out much hope.

The first 20 minutes of this picture are pure exploitation: soft-core sex scenes, surrounded by unbelievably blah dialogue. , and it feels awfully derivative. However, I have to admit that it's rarely boring and that it ends in a somewhat unconventional way.
