Review of The Burning Bed (1984) by Eric C — 28 Nov 2009
Intriguing film, which caught my eye in the early morings of the day. Even with how tired I was(I hadn't slept yet)this film got my attention and forced me to stay awake.
The film is told through the memories of Farrah Fawcett's character, while she is in jail and talking with her lawyer.
I love Lifetime flicks and this plays out like one of them, very dramtic, with a sense of danger behind every arguement.
The performances by the vast is amazing, they really know how to get you worried and heated at the same time.
To watch a film where as man is beating on a woman gets my blood boiled, but its a harsh reality in which some of these women(and even some men)live in and we need to be aware of it and do something.
In this case the battered gets her revenge and is now being tried for the man's death. Its funny how a woman can look for help and never get it, but when she takes matters in her own hands, she gets in trouble.
This film isn't on very much, so if you can get it on DVD, you will not regret it.
4 out of 5 stars.
