Promises broken and kept
Woodyanders17 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Benjamin O'Connell (the always excellent John Saxon) sets it up so that his son John (a solid performance by Christian Jules LeBlanc) and John's new bride Kate (an appealing portrayal by Lisa Waltz) spend their wedding night in the same hotel room where he spent his honeymoon. Unbeknownst to the couple, Benjamin is harboring a dark secret pertaining to what happened to him on his wedding night.

Director Philip Alderton keeps the absorbing story moving along at a steady pace as well as ably crafts an eerie atmosphere. The smart script by Neal Marshall Stevens offers a strong central message about keeping a promise. Moreover, Saxon excels as a guilt-ridden man who pays a bitter price for one night of infidelity while Denise Gentile contributes a memorably sexy turn as an alluring and irresistible seductress. Benjamin's ultimate fate is quite grim and upsetting. A fine show.
