    Storyline

    Edit
    What happens when an experiment in pleasure backfire? When suddenly there are no rules, no limits and no escape? Tom (Marc Singer, Beastmaster, V, Young and The Restless) and Claire (Lisa Pescia, Seinfeld, The New Age) are two doctors who meet doing a research project on sexual response. Tom is handsome, successful, and very married, with a lovely wife (Mary Crosby, Distant Cousins, The Night Caller). Claire is beautiful, successful and very single, with a smoldering, untapped sexuality. Attracted by his verve and talent, Claire seduces Tom and together they begin a tumultuous affair where their deepest passions and darkest fantasies are revealed. But he's in over his head, and when Tom desperately tries to break away, Claire clutches tighter, threatening and arousing him at the same time. Who is really in control and does Tom really want the game to end? Body Chemistry is a scorching, erotic thriller which provokes and excites all the senses.

    "Fatal Attraction" Redux
    If you've seen "Fatal Attraction" and enjoyed it, here's another version of basically the same story-line. Even though the goings-on are somewhat familiar, credit director Kristine Peterson's stylish direction for putting a few interesting new twists on it. The movie is tight and suspenseful, with some VERY HOT sex scenes thrown into the mix. Lisa Pescia makes a chilling and formidable villain and is definitely an actress to watch in the future. A very well-done "B-Movie," worth checking out.
