A young musician with a talent for all things electrical spies on his sexy neighbor with a penchant for skinny dipping in the pool in broad daylight and her obviously violent husband. He is so violent that in the opening sequence he murders a man for talking with his mouth full of food. As the soft-core sex film advances, she gets involved sexually with the much younger man, all the while luring him into a trap involving the murder of her husband. Written by John Sacksteder <jsackste@bellsouth.net>
Deep Down is described as an erotic thriller, but it really is two steps from soft core porn. It also gives actors like George Segal and Kristoffer Tabori a chance to go over the top with some outrageous overacting. They also overact because there's no direction whatsoever.
Segal is married to the beautiful Tanya Roberts and besides being insanely jealous he also is a candidate for the loony bin. What's driving him nuts is the way in their little bungalow complex she takes her nightly swims in the pool in the buff.
You think she's trying to get some attention? The inevitable happens as young unemployed musician Chris Young who has moved in with neighbor Kristoffer Tabori starts thinking with his male member. Since he's an electronics wiz as well he sets up surveillance in the Segal/Roberts dwelling lest his Guinevere get a beat down from her King Arthur.
Some erotic scenes with Young and Roberts are there for the prurient. But we know that Segal, Tabori, and Roberts have all done better.
