OH FIDDLESTICKS!
8 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The film opens with an apparent child killing inside the title apartment. We then have a new couple move in, being shown the place by the quirky Rose (Dee Wallace) who sets off all kind of signals. Kevin (Andrew W. Walker) is a college professor and his wife Rachel (Michele Hicks- no relation to Catherine Hicks) wants to get pregnant. In one scene he is performing oral sex on his wife, comes up with a small amount of blood by his mouth as his wife laments, "Why can't I get pregnant?" Now I am not a doctor, but...I had to laugh. Maybe you're going about it wrong?

Now we already know there is something wrong with the apartment from the title. To make matters worse, the desperate couple visits Eric Roberts to help them get pregnant.

The film has a few things that are going on: Noisy neighbor, sexy Satanic co-ed, wife on medication etc. It tries to keep you entertained. They get a midwife, consultant who apparently learned her craft from Zelda Rubenstein.

Kevin teaches the works of Sylvia Plath at college. For those very familiar with her life and works might find the film has an element of genius in its writing. Unfortunately the characters, dialogue and acting didn't measure up.



Guide: F-bomb, sex, male rear nudity.
