Although she's slightly wary of her new friend, Sarah gives in to her libido, and the two begin a lust-filled, bed-shaking relationship. But when strange and spooky things begin to happen to her, Sarah suspects Tony is behind the weird events, and hires a detective to follow him.

3/4

It's basically a direct-to-video erotic thriller blown up to big-screen proportions, but the stars are attractive and it's passably entertaining -- right up to the ridiculous twist ending.

Brendan Kelly

Reasonably entertaining but largely uninspired.

Wally Hammond

An adequate psychological thriller on a topical theme -- Repressed Memory Syndrome -- but with little special quality, few frills or thrills, and a relaxed, almost languid exposition.

It's an easy-to-watch movie that will be even easier on video, where it should turn up any minute.

The answer to the mystery was a surprise to me, but I didn't find the answer very convincing.

There's plenty of sex. There's little plot. There's reason to watch something else.

Jon Matsumoto

The film is rife with unexpected revelations and twists but the filmmakers' sly maneuvering, instead of sucking the audience deeper into this psychological thriller, are apt to make them feel manipulated.

Chris Hicks

Even with its sights set this low, the film misfires on every level.

Hal Hinson

[Hall] can't triumph over the problems in the script, or tie up all the loose ends, but his brisk, competent approach does minimize the effects of these flaws.

Here's a sure method to guess whodunnit in bad mystery thrillers: pick the suspect most likely to shock the audience and you have the killer.

Peter Stack

It's mysterious and sexy enough to keep tension alive until, too bad, the whole thing collapses with a twist ending that is nearly laughable.

One of the least subtle motion pictures this year.
