Review of The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981) by Sabra E — 19 Apr 2010
Although watching this made me cringe sporadically with train wreck horror in spots throughout, only to resolve every moment of tension with unexpected solutions, repeatedly until the end...then WHAM, like: you knew this was coming, you knew this was a tragedy waiting to happen.
Good gosh, what suspense, what a brain game. The acting was dead-on, the seamlessness of the film was remarkably impressive, the heat between moments of physical and psychological sexual violence, all of it, the con man, the mail order bride, even the circus detour with drugged lions--and everyone was doomed from the start.
