INSTINCT TO KILL (2001)

MORGAN'S RATING

Tess has fooled everyone, including herself, by playing the role of the happily married wife. Yet, when her husband Jim, known in the community as a righteous cop, displays uncharacteristically violent and angry behavior, she becomes suspicious of the man she loves. Tess discovers that her husband has secretly murdered nine women and obtains evidence strong enough to put Tim in prison for life. Escaping from the state pen, Jim plans to get his revenge on Tess, but she has hired a self defense trainer and is prepared to end this nightmare once and for all.

CRITICAL COMMENTS

"It's quite possible there have been many efforts to create a poor man's version of "Sleeping With the Enemy", but I haven't seen any of them. Well, until now anyway." -- Kage Alan, Modamag.com
