Scorned - Tweed + Wuhrer = Better Movie
Someone once said that there are only five or six real stories and writers have just been recycling them for the past 10,000 years. Exhibit A: Kari Wuhrer Poison, a pretty-blatant rip off of the Shannon Tweed movie Scrorned.Ann (WUHRER~!) is seeking revenge for her husband against the Garrett's, a nice, suburban family if ever there was one. She moves in as their nanny and begins to seduce 3/4 of the family. There's the problem right there. I can think of atleast three better ways of getting revenge than letting them have sex with Kari Wuhrer. In fact, that's really more of a reward.Taking into account that it's a rip-off, it's actually better than the movie it copies. I'll take Kari over Shannon seven days a week and twice on Sunday. The few suspenseful parts are actually suspenseful (the freezer in the garage pops to mind), and the pool scene is the hottest since Phoebe Cates in Ridgemont High.Kari can do better, but she got her name in the title and that's something usually reserved for John Carpenter. This is not a bad way to spend 90 m. if you can get past the predictability.
