| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyGuilty pleasures don't get much guiltier than The Seduction. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldThe only thing that differentiates this weak offering from a made-for-television feature are Fairchild's nude scenes, which are gratuitously worked in and add nothing to the story. |
| User Reviewwild willie nCampy, garish, beautiful, lush, suspenseful, cheesy, sensual, inept, odd...the list of adjectives to describe The Seduction just goes on and on. The movie shouldn't work, but for some reason...it just does. Morgan Fairchild plays Jamie Douglas, a beautiful and powerful newscaster who finds herself a victim of the handsome Derek, played by Andrew Stevens. Stevens shouldn't have any problems getting dates, but for some reason, he is obsessed with Fairchild. It starts with notes and phone calls, which annoy Fairchild so much that she confronts him in person, which only feeds his desire even more. Soon, he's breaking into her house, terrorizing her friends, and promising other threats. The police are no help to Fairchild and she realizes that she must take matters into her own hands. The Seduction sure is a product of those glorious 80's. The movie looks stunning with great sets, locations...not to mention the teaming of Fairchild and Stevens, who aren't too bad to look at either. Sure, there are some dull stretches in the middle section, but the movie is so eager to please and entertain that it's easy to forgive some of the more inept moments in the film. It all builds to a nice finale where Fairchild gets her revenge. Colleen Camp lends some support as Fairchild's loud mouthed friend and Michael Sarrazin does o.k. as Fairchild's rather old boyfriend. The score by Lalo Schaffin is extremely beautiful and echoes the work of Pino Donaggio that includes a great theme song sung by none other than Dionne Warwick (?) The Seducion is a MUST for fans of early 80's horror, suspense, sleaze, exploitation, drama, soap operas...it's just for people who love the 80's. |
| User ReviewMichael WStalker Andrew Stevens pursues newsanchor Morgan Fairchild. Police assistance consists of helpful advice such as 'get a gun' and 'leave me alone'. Described as an erotic suspense-drama; indicating this was made prior to the term 'erotic thriller'. |
| User ReviewRussell GThis is one is hard to make it through. It falls under the thriller category, but it is very thrilling or suspenseful. The story is dumb and predictable right from the start. Everything is on the table in the first few minutes of the movie. This is just bad writing, which leaves no mystery or complexity to hold the viewer's interest. The acting is not particularly strong, but with such paper thin characters, they have nothing to work with. The main selling point here is seeing Morgan Fairchild swimming, bathing, and changing. It is almost like the writers took those three scenes and wrote a patchwork story around them. Even when it comes to showcasing their eye candy the movie lacks skill. The scenes that highlight Fairchild's looks lack style. She does not vulnerable enough to invoke tension and suspense, like a good thriller should, nor does it titillate or steam things up in a memorable fashion. At least things pick up a little near the end, as the main character fights back. Even then, it is highly predictable and exhibits unskilled direction. |
