I have seen SAVE ME when I was 16, a kid; and then, many times thereafter. It is one of the good erotic thrillers—suspenseful and paranoid, verging on insanity, convincing by the sheer distress of its main characters. This tasty, suspenseful flick belongs to the erotic sub-genre of what they used to call psycho—thriller, which was the common way of much of the early '90s B movies; Tanya Roberts, Mrs. Tweed, Eric Roberts, Mrs. Stansfield, even M. Rourke and B. Willis have been in such outings (as a matter of fact—did you know that Rourke has been once in such movies, and Willis too?). And most of them, as I have already said, were made in the 1st ½ of the '90s. Since, they pretty much vanished. Many were rather murky, inarticulate and SAVE ME is a bit different—neater, better done, and what might be called atmospheric; so it is, and it isn't, a wholly adequate topic to take up and discuss the entire sub-genre. It deserves a nicely penned comment, at least for its quite recognizable cast (Ironside—a blander Saxon; Mrs. Hussey). The point of SAVE ME is showcasing Lysette's beauty, yet we get an interesting storyline as well.
What you might have heard is true—Lysette's nakedness is exquisite, and it's awesome she accepted to undress.
It is my theory that Ironside is a Saxon impersonator; and Saxon was a Reynolds impersonator, as you might have noticed. Anyway, because of the emotional climate of the age when I first saw them, there are a couple of movies (like SAVE ME, POSSESEED BY THE NIGHT, ALMOST PREGNANT, a post—apocalyptic fare with Hauer, several flicks with the pretty Drew B.) whose entire casts have passed, for me, into legend.
I have seen this on TV the very year it was released; it could be labeled as an erotic thriller. But then again, it's also the chance to see Mrs. Anthony degrade herself, descend rather low on the professional scale, etc.. I liked the movie a lot. Patsy Kensit, Lysette Anthony, Shannon Tweed and Tanya Roberts plus Joan Severance were, at the time, my favorite actresses; and Mrs. Anthony was somehow the hotter of the 5.
She claimed to be 31 when in this movie; I had already seen her before in a TV 'Ripper', where she had a sort of a cameo.
I would like to see her in Looking for Eileen; as for now, I am thinking about Roxana, manliness, the 4th step, and a young broad I talked with about Mrs. Bovary, Delon, Eric Roberts and V. Leigh.
