Wings + Linda = magic

Warning: Spoilers
Don't worry if you never saw Bedroom Eyes. This Chuck Vincent directed film has nothing to do with it. Yes, the characters have the same names, but it's all different actors. So this insane film can really stand on its own, as it combines a Cinemax After Dark film with a giallo, because if I've learned anything from the films of Mr. Vincent, it's that you have no idea where they're going.

Harry Ross (Wings Hauser) lives in a world of little to no morals. His business partner gets an inside trading tip that could make them rich from one of his friends with benefits. But when it comes to love, his life is an even bigger mess.

Let me see if I can summarize it for you: His ex-wife JoBeth (adult film star and Vincent's favorite actress Veronica Hart) tried to kill Harry five years ago and went to prison. Meanwhile, his wife Carolyn (Kathy Shower, Playboy Playmate of the Year 1986) has been all messed up since Harry broke up with one of his girlfriends, Alexandria, who was killed in a hit-and-run accident the very same night that Harry broke up with her.

Things get worse when Harry catches his wife aardvarking with Matthew, a hip young artist. To fix things, our hero - such as it is - decides to get horizontal with Sophie (Blair), an artist. He promises her that his wife can make her famous, but he soon falls for her.

Somehow, Sophie is Alexandria's sister, there's some murder and there's plenty of fishing for kippers. Moistening the Pope. Punching the cow. You know what I mean - sweet, sweet lovemaking. Even after Harry gets stabbed multiple times, he is still able to play some slophockey.

Linda Blair week has brought me down many dark corridors. This is one of them, a movie that takes Wings Hauser through hell and finally jumping across rooftops and beating up cops. That's what happens when you go in too deep.

The plot is like quicksand ........

The plot is like quicksand, sucking Wings Hauser deeper and deeper into unpleasantness. He has cheating wife problems with Kathy Shower. He has relationship problems with Linda Blair. He has a revenge seeking former lover trying to kill him. Finally there is the matter of an insider trading scheme that seems to be irrelevant to the story. With all this going on, Wings still has time to regularly play "hide the Salami" with almost everyone involved. This is really nothing more than after hours soft porn, woven around a noir plot, with decidedly mixed results. Fortunately the film is edited rather sharply, so it tends to move along, but ultimately is very confusing, and really goes nowhere. I would say Wings fans might be interested, but that's about it. - MERK

Uninteresting.
gridoon30 August 2001
I thought the first "Bedroom Eyes" was a pretty bad film unworthy of a sequel, but here comes the (totally unrelated) "sequel" and it's even worse. A thoroughly bland, uninteresting and unmemorable "erotic" thriller that was never, I believe, released to theatres. The two washed-up stars (Wings Hauser and Linda Blair) add nothing worth mentioning. (*)

Wings Hauser shines..........
kazz-76 January 2001
Wings Hauser, as always, shines in the role of Harry Ross, with Linda Blair as his love interest.

However the script was rather weak. My first impression was that the film was going to be about Wall Street, even after the sister-in-law turned up at Harry's office. Had the office scenes been left out this would have been a lot better to watch, however, any film with Wings Hauser in is worth watching, and this is no exception.

Definately a film for Wings Hauser fans.

Twisty thriller
lor_7 May 2023
My review was written in January 1990 after watching the movie on Vidmark video cassette.

This sequel to a 1986 Canadian-made thriller is notable for snapy pacing and a rather complicated plot line. Helmer Chuck Vincent downplays his usual skin quotient, however.

Wings Hauser plays a fairly sympathetic role for a change, an unscrupulous stockbroker married to art dealer Kathy Shower who decides to have a romance with Linda Blair after he spies on Shower in a sexual tryst with an artist.

All hell breaks loose when Blair is murdered and both Hauser and Shower are prime suspects. Key to unravelling the mystery is a wall portrait of Hauser's late first wife, which closely resembles one of the other characters.

En route to a bittersweet finale, the cast does a good job in alternately creating sympathy and suspicion. Vincent's favorite actress, Jane Hamilton, pops up in a key supporting role. It's all played on the surface, but the plot is intriguing enough to hold one's interest.
