Kate's Addiction

When I read the summary for this movie, I had high expectations for it. Boy was I disappointed. The only thing that saves this movie from absolute failure is the fine perfomances by Kari Wuhrer and Farrah Forke. The only thing that I found remotely interesting was the seduction scene by Kate but even that isn't enough for someone to rent this movie What annoyed me most was how predictable the ending was. It was pretty much your typical Hollywood ending. If I wanted a sissy ending, I'd go watch a Disney movie. Just for once can't the bad guys win? If you're looking for a better lesbian movie go see Bound or When Night is Falling.

I saw this film at the Newport Beach Film Festival where the writer, director, producer was awarded the "Filmmaker of the Future Award." When you watch the movie, it's amazing to think he made the film for $74,000. It looks great...the acting is great. I remember during the question and answer session following the film, the director said he wished he had more time to do a production rewrite. I think he found out just how hard it is to make a indie film with credit cards. My hats off to him...the film is great. I loved Kari Wuhrer.

Say what you want about Kari Wuhrer, when she tries to be she can be a fine actress. She works very well as a woman desperate to keep her place as the dominant focus in her friend's life. It is wonderful to see Farrah Forke again (remember her in Wings?). Unfortunately, the cast around them is sub-par and the script seems to be missing something, especially in the beginning. If the setup had been a little more in depth, this could have been an excellent little sleeper. As it is, there are fine performances by Wuhrer and Forke but little else to back them up. Could have been superb, but it settles for being run of the mill.

For a direct to video movie, what can we really expect? But with Kari Wuhrer in it, well then it does make it worthwhile to rent. Me being a Kari fan, I bought the DVD. The story is a good one here but the acting around Kari and Wings' Farrah Forke is really really bad. Lots of bad continuity throughout the flick as well. But if you can sit through the minor glitches like that and accept the bad acting around the two main stars, I think you may like it. But you have to keep in mind it is basically a B movie. Us Kari Wuhrer fans though will enjoy the lesbian scene in this movie which is what we all basically wait for and know will happen. Like I said though, B movie all over it. So if you are expecting something stellar then I say pass on it, but if you like Kari Wuhrer and don't mind low budget flicks with a pretty good storyline, then rent it. I would give the film a 6 out of 10 and 3 of those are added for Kari baby. Always remember that when it comes to Kari Wuhrer..her movies are rated "R" but she always puts a little "X" in them. Betrayel,Seduction,Jealousy,Revenge and oh ya T & A, all wrapped up in this flick.

Kate and Sara (Kari Wuhrer and Farrah Forke) were friends in high school. Years later, Sara has moved on with her life. Unfortunately, Kate hasn't done as well, and decides to look up her old friend.

One day, Sara is surprised when Kate shows up at her home "out of the blue". Sara is unaware that Kate is harboring a secret grudge / agenda, and will destroy anyone who stands in her way. It's immediately apparent that Kate is a psychopath who will stop at nothing to possess Sara.

Madness and murder ensue.

KATE'S ADDICTION is a well-made erotic thriller with a gloriously ruthless title character! Wuhrer plays her bonkers role with unhinged gusto.

Hellishly grand entertainment...
