Programmer's Pick
David DeCoteau’s penchant for steamy erotic thrillers is on full display here: you've got Beverly Hills decadence, a gardener with more than green thumbs, and not one but two spirits of sex haunting the proceedings. Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer ensure the nudity is as artfully excessive as the drama.
