Although you have to admit the premise is original, this is just like all of Zalman's other pics, he does us a great service to us birdwatching community. You gotta admit to see it's lead women, naked, is another one of the movie's pleasures, where nakedness runs high in Zalman's pics. Lonely bored housewife (Severance) is left alone for the weekend, as hubby and kid have gone off somewhere. She's developed a sexual fixation on one of her landscapers (Billy Zane). And as fate would have it, she's gets locked in her caravan, ending up at this tranquil deserted lake, and have a guess with who. It's a menois de trois, and sexual therapy for Severance, whose sexual hunger has been pent up for two long. It's up to Zane and his beautiful girlfriend to bring her much wanted sexual desires and fantasies to life. That's the business of the story, but like all of all of King's work, the movie chooses the weird way of telling the story which makes it more brief, than if going on the realistic path, if getting to the core of Severance's problems. But it does have a beautifully told story, and is beautifully shot. Aside from that, it's a borderline porn, not much substance kind of film, but films like these do have their perks.
