This atmospheric, occasionally intense erotic thriller is obviously limited in its scope and budget, but it's still not a bad choice for those who enjoy female serial-killer movies. The unconventionally beautiful redhead Lisa Comshaw (who, according to IMDb, is also a fantasy wrestler and a bondage model - in other words, the kind of woman I want to marry some day) has a magnificent body, and gives an adequate performance as a psychotic painter who kills her out-of-town lovers during or a little after lovemaking and uses their blood to give an extra feeling of realism and violence to her paintings (which sell very well, I might add). But when she meets a nice local guy who seems fascinated by her, will she find true love and redemption from her childhood traumas, or will he simply be added to her long list of victims? Cynthia Rothrock appears briefly as the girlfriend of this guy; her big dramatic scene is the one where he tells her that they should break up, and quite honestly, her acting in that scene is very good. (**1/2)
