This chilling romantic thriller from writer-director James Dearden (Fatal Attraction) sees the rich and beautiful Ellen Carlson (Sean Young - Bladerunner), already troubled by the death of her twin sister Dorothy, fall in love and marry an ambitious young man, Jonathan Corliss (Matt Dillon - Drugstore Cowboy). As she investigates Dorothy's death, a chance encounter reveals how little Ellen really knows about her new husband. And what she doesn't know may kill her! Adapted from Ira Levin's 1953 suspense novel, first made into a film in 1956 starring Robert Wagner, this tightly wrought thriller is driven by a mercurial Dillon, who brilliantly brings cold, psychopathic venom to his portrayal of a young, conventional middle-class guy with evil ambition. Through his elaborate deception of both Ellen and her imperious father (Max Von Sydow), Jonathan soon edges closer to the perfect crime...
