The Story: Patricia Bursel stars as Kathrine, who is recovering from a nervous breakdown. Her nurse, Luisa (Sanchez), becomes her caretaker, moving Kathrine to her uncle's estate by the ocean. The two women develop a friendship, but there are some things about Luisa that Kathrine doesn't know like Luisa's need for sex and pain. Luisa's husband Sonny (Matt) shows up and insinuates himself into the insular life that Kathrine and Luisa have built, and we discover that Sonny is vicious, psychotic, and extremely clever. Sonny convinces Luisa to drug Kathrine into insensibility again so that he and Luisa can control her fortune. Sonny uses Kathrine's attraction to him to revenge himself on Luisa for her infidelities (real and perceived) and to exercise control over Kathrine, but the situation twists when Luisa joins the bedroom fun. The fundamental insanity of the characters builds the pressure on the three-way dysfunctional relationship until everything explodes in a shockingly violent climax.

UMSFC Review: A disturbing little film, not particularly well-executed except by Matt. His performance as the deranged-yet-compelling Sonny lifts the movie out of the trash can. The women are not convincing, and the supporting cast just seems lost, even Jesus Nebot, who's probably the best of the lot. For Matt's fans, this is worth watching simply for his performance, but anyone else will probably be bored.
