Deadly Desire (2023) User Reviews

Nice suspense!

[kyleallencole9 · 5/10 · 6 October 2023]

This new thriller was surprisingly pretty good and effective.

Some may say this one is the same as most other psycho obsession movies, but the cast in this one made it feel different.

Erica Peeples played the lead psychopath with finess and was actually quite menacing. Her performance of the cold blooded killer definitely kept me intrigued and wanted to see what she was going to do next.

I will say that the bride was oblivious to the warning signs that everyone else seemed to pick up.

So in this one, a mentally unbalanced woman (Erica Peeples) invites her childhood best friend (D'Kia Anderson) on a weekend getaway to celebrate her upcoming wedding. She takes her out to an isolated villa resort along with her three best friends from work as a celebratory Bachelorette party. Determined to get her alone, the crazed woman begins to eliminate the girls one by one who get in her way or try to warn their friend about her evil ways. Two dancers from a strip club become victims as well in the middle of the film which stirs the other girls suspicions. Has some stabbings and throat slicing throughout as well.

Overall a damn good thriller!

So so Thriller

Two reviews here, but neither gave me much to work with as to the true quality of this movie.

1. The acting is mediocre at best, with a variety of skill sets starting at okay but needs work, to I think you need another profession. It vacillated from cardboard cut out to block of wood, to totally asinine.

2. Directing/Scripting was very problematic as well with this movie as it wandered aimlessly about with the main lead protagonist fluctuating between being open to same sex colitis, to angerly telling her bestie to leave after a sensuous massage.

3. Plot holes, like one minute Sophia is making out with the soon to be deceased stripper wearing a completely different outfit from what she was wearing at the strip club, to later dancing with some other stripper wearing what she had on at the strip club

There was plenty of cheese, corn pone and cliched' ridiculousness to go around with this one. One of the poorest depiction of of cliched' idiocy, was the day after at the strip club while retrieving her forgotten ATM card. Even if one of the strippers failed to show up the following day, the fake gangster attitude and follow me to the cliched' manager's office was total BS.

I reached this degree of why this is not a good movie at. 47 minutes and 42 seconds into this movie.

GREAT FILM.

I was on the edge of my seat. Harrowing storyline. Great performance from Erica Peeples. Instant classic slasher film. Solid writing, great acting, that drowning scene was amazing.

It may not be "Oscar Worthy" but it was entertaining, and that's what movies should be. I can see a sequel being made for this film, and I would be intrigued to see it. This film shows that with a relatively small budget you can still work in some epic kill scenes. Erica Peeples portrayal of "Melody" was an absolute work of art. She sells this film. I hope people watch his with an open mind and enjoy it for what it is. Only the beginning of an epic story.
