Review of Lady Beware

Lady Beware (1987)
6/10
Formulaic (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)
6 May 2000
Warning: Spoilers
Diane Lane was so beautiful in this film. And her topless scenes here didn't hurt that a bit. Michael Woods was evil enough, and as I suspected, (confirmed by Imdb) he is James Woods' brother. Aside from this the movie was a thoroughly formulaic psycho stalker movie. SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Lane's character at least got to be a strong woman type at the end and trap the stalker herself, rather than being merely the damsel in distress. This allowed her to flesh out the characterization and shows that she has some talent in addition to magnificent breasts. Also, somewhat refreshingly, the ending climax amounted to police apprehension of the villain, rather than the expected grisly death. An OK film, and a must for fans of Lane. Grade C+
