Sexy Babes, Fatal Acting.
Review: I picked up Thy Neighbor's Wife on DVD (released in the
USA under the name Poison) for $11 and have determined that
I was ripped off and that it's rightful place is in the $5 bargain
bin. It was an impulse purchase based on my adoration for Kari
Wuhrer. I've been a fan of Kari's since her Remote Control days
and am slowly collecting her (questionable) filmography. Although
her films generally aren't very good (including this one), Kari is
consistently a sight to behold. She's in a number of sexy outfits and has one love scene with partial nudity. Additional skin
is shown by three other blonde actresses (although a body double is used
in one love scene; an actress in a B-movie couldn't do her own
nudity?!), but sadly a gorgeous brunette doesn't show anything. Is
the T&A enough to sustain interest in this flick? Nope. The
acting is often laughable and the filmmaking is clearly B-grade.
There are a number of
amateurish scenes and several embarrassing examples of bad directing
and writing. Not recommended (unless, like me, you absolutely have
to see some Kari).
