Kim Basinger never spent $9 million so well as she did pulling out of this stinker.
Horrid dialogue, cheesy acting and Art Garfunkel sporting two puffs of hair on either side of his head (like a hippie Bram Stoker's 'Dracula') make this rotter an unintentionally hilarious film. But it's obvious that Jennifer Lynch wanted so badly to strike a bizarre chord just like her famous daddy that she was willing to sacrifice everything...apparently, even her dignity.
BH is the tale of a whiny doctor (Sands)who's mama didn't love him. Gee, do you think he'll grow up resenting women? When gets a whiff of wench-o-la Helena (Fenn)he's obsessed and begins to stalk her. Her macho-man boyfriend Ray (Paxton, modeling a mullet Billy Ray Cyrus would have been embarrassed by)does nothing to instill the audiences confidence in Helen's ability to choose men. It's also never stated what this woman does for a living, but she's got some pretty sweet accommodations, and even a full bar in her bedroom.
When Dr. Nick can't get Helena to go for him, a severe accident involving a truck and Helena gives Nick the opportunity to have her recouperate in his home. Unfortunately, he's also used the opportunity to his advantage by cutting off her legs. When she deigns to slap him, he removes her arms. All throughout the film, we see shots of the Venus de Milo. Plot point shoved home! And apparently, Lynch would have us believe a man can hack off your limbs and still make you fall for him. But the obsurdity of that pales in comparison to the "Bad Movie-Making 101" ending. Rent it purely for comic relief.
