With Gourley and Rust had me watching more \u201cYuppie Nightmare\u201d movies than I have in the past so I figured it was a good time to talk about it.<br \/>The plot for this is, Julia Roberts plays a woman that fakes her death to escape her abusive psycho husband. He begins to piece together what happened, finds her and tries to kill her. The acting is pretty good, this is early Julia Roberts, think Pretty Woman era. She\u2019s captivating and has that thick red flowing hair. Patrick Bergin plays the asshole husband and he\u2019s menacing with his suits and mustache. This movie had a lot of build up, but kind of falls flat at the end. He hunts her down, goes into her house and waits for her. He attacks her and she ends up shooting him. I would\u2019ve liked to see her run a couple more times, to build up more of an interesting ending. I think a movie like Enough with Jennifer Lopez handles this better, even though that movie has a lot of inadvertant comedic elements.<br \/>There isn\u2019t much in the way of effects, not really any blood or much you would associate with typical horror. This movie relies heavily on the acting performance of Julia Roberts, which she does well. The nice guy Ben is ok, he isn\u2019t much help at the end though with the fight, but he\u2019s a good guy and likeable. The pacing was fairly good, it didn\u2019t drag on at any moment and wasn\u2019t too fast. I think if I\u2019m going to watch a movie of this subgenre, I\u2019m probably going to pick Fatal Attraction.<br \/>All in all it was a solid movie. Not anything great, but not bad at all. Julia Roberts was trending up quickly around this time and you can see why. I give this movie a solid B.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sleeping With the Enemy (1991)Directed by Joseph Ruben Maybe not conventional horror, much like Firstborn that I covered earlier in the month, Sleeping With the Enemy is more of a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4173,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-31hm"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_2023-08-24_100554996.png","rttpg_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_2023-08-24_100554996.png",1000,1482,false],"landscape":["https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_2023-08-24_100554996.png",1000,1482,false],"portraits":["https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_2023-08-24_100554996.png",1000,1482,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_2023-08-24_100554996-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_2023-08-24_100554996-202x300.png",202,300,true],"large":["https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_2023-08-24_100554996-691x1024.png",691,1024,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_2023-08-24_100554996.png",1000,1482,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_2023-08-24_100554996.png",1000,1482,false]},"rttpg_author":{"display_name":"Brandon Darling","author_link":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/author\/brandon"},"rttpg_comment":0,"rttpg_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/?cat=1\" rel=\"category\">31 Horror Movies<\/a>","rttpg_excerpt":"Sleeping With the Enemy (1991)Directed by Joseph Ruben Maybe not conventional horror, much like Firstborn that I covered earlier in the month, Sleeping With the Enemy is more of a&hellip;","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1051"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4177,"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051\/revisions\/4177"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
