Laura and Martin have been married for four years. They seem to be the perfect, happiest and most successful couple.
The reality of their household, however, is very different. Martin is an abusive and brutally obsessed husband.
Laura is living her life in constant fear and waits for a chance to escape. She finally stages her own death, and flees to a new town and new identity.
But when Martin finds out that his wife is not dead he will stop at nothing to find and kill her.....
After the success of Pretty Woman, it was inevitable that Roberts would be huge, and the next few films she starred in would be guaranteed hits, regardless of their quality. In 1991, she starred in two dodgy movies, Dying Young, and this shlockfest.
It's the kind of film that has a woman explain a plot point over the phone to the villain, and has someone search for clues in a box labelled 'Laura's Personal Records'.
Despite the absurdity of it all though, Roberts is good, and Bergin is the funniest pantomime villain, and plays the role with the right amount of cheese.
This is the film to thank when you think of other films like, Single White Female, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, and Unlawful Entry.
Its a load of old cobblers, but its funny cobblers.
And Roberts looks like Michael J Fox when dressed as a man.
