Definitely a low-budget effort, but I thought the filmmakers did quite well with their limitations, and it has a GREAT plot. I have seen this movie many times (and in fact own it), and my girlfriends love it, too. Scalia plays charming well, then descends into the Date From Hell very convincingly. True, no motivation for his character's actions is ever given, but maybe that would have gotten in the way of the action and suspense. My women friends and I were very impressed with Kim Delaney's performance, and the fact that she wasn't another simpering, victimized female. She kicked ASS! When he chained her to the sink, who could not cheer her on and be amazed at her resilience? As mentioned, the opening scene is terrific. I also like the scene where Kim finds out what Calvin's profession is! Wow. Pretty scary stuff. I give this one 7/10 and consider it one of Scalia's best. With higher production values and a bigger budget, this one could have been more successful. Too bad he never gets the big-budget pictures, because I think he is a highly underrated actor.
Personally I didn't feel one bit sorry for the broad for one second throughout this film. At the beginning of the movie when she's at that nightclub, she's approached by a guy who has a few extra pounds on him, who tells her she's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. Then she says "I'm with someone" and walks away. Then notices this guy loaded with muscle and goes for him. Newsflash to everyone. LOOKS ARE NOT EVERYTHING and if there is any lesson to be learned in this movie, it's that. She was a little snot and got everything she deserved. She should have been killed at the end of the movie, because that would have made it a whole lot better.
A good movie with somehow a little weird performance , but anyhow its a 90s movie , so it doesnt matter.
this movie doesnt consider as EROTIC thriller , as there is no nude or much sex scenes.

Jack Scalia turns up again in this cruddy TV movie. Looks like he's trying to grow old gracefully! This TV movie looks cheap and it's been done time & time before. Fatal Attraction has a lot to answer for! The only good things about this late-night nonsense is the opening sequence, which has a young lady being dropped from a apartment building and the camera going around her body in slow motion as she falls. A neat trick and quite beautiful (until she smashes full pelt into a car roof that is). The other good thing is Kim Delaney who deserves better than this and in my opinion is a very under-rated actress who also radiates beauty. But then what do I know... This one gets a 3/10 on the ShoonScale, Delaney bumps it up from a 2. Shoong
the plot it tightly knit and properly worked out, maybe it´s true that there is not much of a character to be found in this movie, but hey, this film is not about characters as such, but about one sick situation!
