    Wonderful Wicked Witch......

    Just shown or re-shown on cable tv here, I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful melo-drama. Deranged patient takes revenge on her doctor and the star of this film is without doubt the "wicked witch" villainess. Her performance is in the mould of Bett Davis and she has great screen presence and is a star for sure. With an excellent supporting cast the movie is hilarious yet highly watchable; why is it that the "baddies" always seem more interesting than the "goodies"? Hopefully we can at same date have a Maternal Instinct 2......with of course the same wicked witch in the lead.....!

    I really really liked this movie

    This movie was very good. Mostely because of Beth Brodericks (Dr. Eva Warden) acting. The movie aren't so very predictable and that keeps the excitement going til the end. I really really liked this movie and I have seen it several times. Brodericks acting is great throughout the whole movie and she makes it worth seeing.

    Severe Complications...

    MATERNAL INSTINCTS stars Delta Burke as Tracy Horton, who is desperate to have a baby. Her husband is amazed by her zealous pre-planning. When circumstances arise that render Tracy unable to conceive, she doesn't take it well.

    Now, everyone Tracy holds responsible for her "barren" condition is on her enemies list, including her pregnant doctor! Indeed, Tracy's slipped a few gears, and not even her husband is safe.

    Fans of Ms. Burke should love seeing her so unhinged, wreaking havoc, and going completely berserk in a bathroom stall! She plays her role with gusto, making her vengeful onslaught a wonder to behold!

    BEST PART: Tracy's cold, calculated destruction of her doctor's life is delectably eeevil!

    The final, wrench-swinging showdown slaps the icing on this cake good and proper!...

    Nausea is the only word I can use

    I saw this film one night when I was sleeping during the day and was awake through the night. I think I was about 14 when I saw it and I have to say that even now, three years later when I think about it I feel completely sick. It was just completely twisted as far as I am concerned and I watch horror movies all the time with no problem.

    The whole thing of this calculating character, her motives weren't set up effectively and stalking her gynecologist was just all completely wrong and you could see the contrivance behind the whole thing. I really wouldn't recommend watching this film unless you have a really strong constitution because it's completely sick and demented.

    Great Movie!

    I loved this movie. The actors were great. Beth Broderick is Dr. Eva Warden and she is very good at the role. Delta Burke was Tracy and she really got into the role. Garwin Sanford was great as Eva's husband. There were moments that you would wonder where something came out of such as when Eva gives birth and she gets worried about Gary( you have to see the movie) her partner pulls out a seditive like he knew that she was going to go alittle cuckoo. This is a movie that I would recommend for everyone except young children.
