Movie Reviews of The Seduction
Movie Review: Cinematic Cheez Whiz (spoilers)
Summary: 5 Stars
No, this isn't a good movie. It's a bad mish-mash of "Vertigo", "Lipstick" and "Body Double" despite predating the last one by a good two years. The direction is TV movie of the week, the extra's acting is fairly atrocious and the script has holes Morgan Fairchild could park her little Fiat convertible in (for instance, the police call with the name of her stalker and his phone number, but fail to mention that he lives right up the street?) Add in a soundtrack that's completely looped in (witness the scene at the diner), a bad "Pino Donaggio does Bernard Herrmann" score and Andrew Stevens heaving and sweating as the main looney and I defy you not to have a good time. Then of course there's Morgan Fairchild. I might be biased, because I think Miss Fairchild is great; she seems like a gal that would be a blast on the next barstool. She is of course lovely and this movie lives and breathes on her creamy flesh. Would that she would have gotten some real parts; she could have easily inhabited some of the complex Hitchcock blondes. Here's she's forced to be more cool-whip.
Still, empty calories can be fun, and this is decidedly fun
Summary of The Seduction
Synopsis L.A. anchorwoman Jamie Douglas (Morgan Fairchild in her delectable big screen debut) has it all: a glamorous career on a top-rated news show, a luxurious house in the hills, and a devoted young admirer named Derek (Andrew Stevens). But when Jamie rebuffs his romantic advances, Derek becomes an obsessed stalker who plays out an increasingly psychotic courtship with the frightened newswoman. Soon he is threatening every part of her life, secretly watching even her most intimate moments. Her tough-talking lover (Michael Sarrazin) can't console her. A by-the-book cop (Vince Edwards) can't protect her. Now Jamie is alone, trapped like an animal and fighting back with the only weapon she has left. Will she finally be forced to use her luscious body to fulfill THE SEDUCTION?DVD Features: Widescreen Presentation enhanced for 16x9 TVs,Theatrical Trailer,Audio Commentary with Producer Irwin Yablans and Writer/Director David Schmoeller,Remembering The Locations And Production,Remembering THE SEDUCTION,THE SEDUCTION And The Law
Morgan Fairchild made her screen debut in this ridiculous and insulting film as a television newswoman under constant sexual threat from a "fan" (Andrew Stevens). The lame script finds Fairchild's character scared as long as she feels powerless to this predator's threats, but capable of defending herself by--take a deep breath here--turning the tables and coming on to him. The climactic scene, in which Fairchild stops a rape by undoing the guy's pants while he turns into a quivering little boy, is not only absurd in its staging but irresponsible on every level. --Tom Keogh
