Another film that would have done so much better with publicity!
Marnie is given early release from prison after serving part of her sentence for murdering her violent and abusive cop husband, much to the disgust of his partner. She is placed under house arrest and given an ankle tag, which effectively prevents her from moving 100 feet from a monitoring box in her home.
Much to her horror the power to her home wont be connected for a couple of days, however she opts to stay anyway. Hoping to return to normality she begins to busy herself with cleaning up her house, building bridges with her family and trying to start a new life. Unable to leave her home she uses a local store for her grocery delivery, becoming friendly with the delivery boy. Things begin to look up and Marnie dares to think she could be happy again.
However Marnie's husband has other ideas and, as he is also trapped in the house, sets out to prove he can make her just as frightened in death as he did in life.
There are a couple of genuine shocks, one quite literally resulted in me spitting food across the room. There is a moderately raunchy sex scene and a smattering of bad language. However there's some pretty graphic violence, the boyfriend vs dead husband 'fight' is a sight to behold including a couple of things that made me wince.
Basically I loved it, it's one of those films that isn't really well known, but once you've watched it you wanna tell all your friends to watch it too. I've had 3 different copies of this film, simply because I've loaned copies to friends, who've loaned it to their friends.......
I promise you wont be disappointed!
