Okay, I haven't blogged in a while ... BUT with a pair of premieres on Lifetime last week, I realized I needed to get back into the swing of things.
And with a title like "Deadly Seduction" (aka "The Queen of Sin"), how could I resist?
So, this movie is pretty crazy even by Lifetime standards. It begins with a murder mystery when a bloodied woman is run over by a speeding vehicle in a park. Cousins Posy Pinkerton (Christa B. Allen) and Laura (Amber Goldfarb) are frequent runners in the park and are questioned by nice guy cop Detective Dagliesh (Sergio Di Zio).
Posy, a medical illustrator, has other problems to contend with. She's a gorgeous young woman with a secret wild side...and a dud of a doctor fiancee. When she's not sketching medical stuff, Posy has created a character that reflects her inner desires ... The Queen of Sin. She even makes a costume (kind of a steampunk lingerie get-up) to wear.
Well, Dr. Dud is less than interested in getting kinky. Posy becomes intrigued with a traveling businessman named Jack (Richard de Klerk), who is tied to the park murder. They flirt, meet for drinks/dinner ... and thus, begins the dangerous seduction.
Jack is a henchman for perverse millionaire Alexander Gorser (Dean Armstrong), who likes to prance around in his undies when not drugging and killing co-eds. Well, Alex sets his sights Posy and assigns his A-Team of stooges to fetch her -- Jack, Stella (Inga Cadranel) and Charlie (Marc Thibaudeau).
This movie is as crazy as it sounds, but it's definitely must-see Lifetime TV. Allen is pretty good as Posy, who is desperate to spice up her love life. The real stars of this movie are the villains. Cadranel is excellent as the sexy and psychotic Inga. And, Thibadeau is equally effective as the steely-eyed heavy.
The plot is definitely original, and the film builds to an effective (and creepy) climax. This is part "50 Shades of Grey," part horror film, and highly recommended. I am not seeing this on the immediate Lifetime or LMN schedules, but it is likely to be included in a marathon of "Seduction"-themed films ("Nanny Seduction," "Lethal Seduction," etc.) in the not too distant future.
"Dangerous Seduction": Directed by Jean-Francois Rivard; Starring Christa B. Allen as Posy; Richard de Klerk as Jack; Amber Goldfarb as Laura; Dean Armstrong as Gorser; Marc Thibadeau as Charlie; Inga Cadranel as Stella
This movie is awful and painful to watch. Posy is such an unfaithful slut (she even likes being called slutty) that has a "fling" with a married man 2 months before her wedding that you end up rooting for to bad guy to do her in at the end. Sure her fiance is a dud but she;s the one that got engaged to him. she should just hve broken up with him before cheating.
ReplyDeleteat the end her friend married the guy posy loved. To be honest, this movie was horrible
ReplyDeleteShe married the detective
DeleteI agree with the two comments above. This is probably the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. I even turned it off five minutes before it ended, that's how little I cared about the cliffhanger climax. The actors have committed career suicide and that's good.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know artists for the dreamy music in this movie.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Your complaint about this movie is an adulterous affair? It's a thriller movie! Go watch a sappy romance, if it upsets you that much! Seriously. Reviews should be based on acting skills, plot intrigue and originality, etc. Yes, reasons why you did/didn't like it. However, that would've changed the whole film. Did you ever try to get into HER mind, as to why she didn't leave? Think about how things actually occurred. Why. It was very well "played" by certain characters, and necessary to the plot.
ReplyDeleteDid I miss something but didn’t she give BACK the bracelet saying she can’t accept it before walking away? Then once she’s home she takes it out to look at it??????
ReplyDeleteWhat evil group was that that did the killing?
