Review of Unlawful Entry (1992) by Jay L — 10 May 2013

"Desire, passion, lust. It's all a deadly game of obsession.".

Downright bone chilling, a ruthless display of insane obsession that will leave you gasping for air. A deeply twisted and flat out frightening psychological thriller that knows no bounds. Unlawful entry is a brutal mad house filled with psychological anarchy, sure fire terror and gripping suspense throughout, it's a seriously dark, but magnificently effective head game. Director Jonathan Kaplan crafted a completely over the top, yet astoundingly gripping film that will absolutely pin you to your seat. It's thrilling, it's chilling, it disturbing, it's violent, it's absorbing and it keeps you on your feet throughout, this is how psychological horror thriller is made, Unlawful Entry scared the hell out of me and kept me on my toes, Kaplan and company keep the pedal to the medal the entire way through and don't let off until the credits roll.

Kurt Russell does well throughout, and Ray Lotta gives an insanely convincing and straight up menacing villainous role. Madeleine Stowe is superb as well. A wickedly intense and jaw droppingly suspenseful powerhouse.
