About

You may enjoy this if you want a steamy, pulpy mystery about obsession and suspicion that doesn’t ask much of you; Not for you if you dislike explicit sex, campy thrills, or predictable turns like in Diabolique.

Pros: steamy erotic thriller vibe; some intrigue and tension; stylish London setting | Cons: thin unbelievable plot; uneven acting and dialogue; twists feel predictable
