The title suggests a decent horror movie with tons of gore. With a title like 'Die Screaming, Marianne', I would have thought that as well, but that's not the case. Instead, this is more of a incestuous thriller than straight horror. The lady playing Marianne is Susan George, who starred in the original 'Straw Dogs'. Marianne is an exotic dancer who is wanted by some criminals. She escapes their capture, and takes refuge with a guy named Sebastian (Christopher Sanford) who is a little too nice for my comfort.
Marianne figures out that Sebastian is not the guy he says he is after he suddenly proposed marriage to her, as he has partnered up with Mariannes father (Leo Genn), a corrupt authority figure who is after Marianne's fortune, a large wealth of money left to her by her mother, which she will inherit on her 21st birthday. And Marianne's father is not the only one after her fortune, as Marianne tries to avoid capture and being killed by family.
This is one of those films that has a good plot, but was poorly executed. The script isn't that good, and each climactic moment utterly fails to bring any kind of resolution. It keeps a decent pace, but with its terrible dialogue and anticlimactic moments, it runs longer than it should. Susan George looks great in this film though, especially when she is almost nude.
