it would be easy to say that this low budget thriller just doesn not work and then point out the obvious flaw but i think it incredibly sad to watch any actor that be even remotely well know appear in something so idiotic . story be about two lesbian that go to their home on shelter island to get away from their hectic life and spend some time alone . louise delamere ( ally sheedy ) be a motivational speaker and former pro golfer and while jog one day be savagely attack and beat by an unknown assailant and her girlfriend alex ( patsy kensit ) be the one that urge her to take time off and heal . spoiler alertonce they arrive on shelter island they run into sheriff deluca ( chris penn ) who warn them of an approach storm . that night during the storm they find an unknown man on their doorstep unconscious and they take him in . he awaken and tell them his name be lenny ( stephen baldwin ) and he immediately start to act weird . once the storm pass they have a difficult time get rid of him and then to louise horror she discover that lenny be the one that attack her before . this film be direct by geoffrey schaaf who seem tailor make for those late night skin amax flick that usually star shannon tweed but somehow he manage to get some well know actor . this horribly make un thriller be so bad that it doesn not even work a one of those it so bad it good film and every male character give new meaning to the word neanderthal . when penn be first introduce in the story he start to meander and mutter about be good on the eye and then start to really babble like an idiot . baldwin be always irritate no matter what he in and he astonishingly primitive here and after talk with sheedy character he ask her to arm wrestle . even though he must outweigh her by 150lbs she beat him and in more than one scene she get the best of him . every nude scene with sheedy and kensit be with body double that look nothing like either one of them so if you have the idea of maybe view any of these two naked your out of luck . sheedy career have hit a high note in 1998 with the fascinating high art and i think she deserve an oscar nod for her tough performance but ever since then she have slowly slide back down to crap like this . i can not describe how painfully sad it be to watch a good talented actress like sheedy have to work in an utter abortion like this . this film fail on every single level and isn not worth anyone time .
