Shannon Tweed at her best......a definite A+.

The first time I seen this movie, I was overwhelmed at how great Shannon Tweed acted. I mean, she literally became Amanda. This wasn't the usual B-movie. The story was written in a way so, if you toned down the sex and put A-list talent in the roles, it could be a successful major motion picture. Shannon Tweed stars as Amanda, a woman whose husband just committed suicide. He was extremely disappointed he didn't get the promotion he so valiantly strived for. Instead it went to his biggest rival, played by Andrew Stevens. Amanda decides to get even by posing as a tutor, coming to help the man's son do better in school. She puts on her insatiable feminine charms, and slowly weaves a web of seduction over the entire family. She makes sure the wife can't interfere by drugging her liberally; she sleeps with the son, and afterwards sleeps with the father (while the son is watching, mind you, and she KNEW he was watching). Of course this makes the son turn on his father. The ending is quite good too, and the way it ended made you actually want to cheer for Amanda! Even though she was the "villain" in this movie, she's the "good" villain. A well-written story, given the limitations of the cast. Shannon Tweed carries this flick, so I give it an A+. See it the next time it's on in your part of town.
