Successful architect David Kenyon (Nick Mancuso) is visited by his ex-wife Deirdre (Yancy Butler), who has been kept a secret from his new wife, Molly (The Usual Suspect's Suzy Amis), and their 5-year-old son. But David and Deirdre's previous, brutal sadomasochistic relationship is a secret no longer as psychotic Deirdre intends to destroy David's life and family, as well as kill anyone who gets in her way. 

Finally, B-movie screenwriter Larry Cohen (Maniac Cop 1&2, The Ambulance) finds a competent action director and a well respected cast to give a high-tone gloss to his admittedly high camp style. Director Mark L. Lester (Commando, Firestarter) deftly balances the unavoidable cheesiness with genuine chills and gives new life to the exhausted "wolves in sheep's clothing" genre. Bits of Fatal Attraction, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and Mommy are unabashedly strung together, leading to a fiery--and corny --finale that doesn't disappoint. This is an excellent B movie with A aspirations.
