In a forgotten 1994 erotic thriller, Blood Run.
This film was basically a grade-B, made-for-cable version of Basic Instinct. Does this plot sound familiar to you?
A hot-shot detective with a substance abuse problem is assigned to solve a murder. After he questions a beautiful woman, she becomes the prime suspect in the investigation. Aware of the danger but helplessly drawn to her seductive ways, the detective enters into an affair with her. The maverick cop struggles to keep his cool while the mysterious, bisexual killer lays a deadly trap.
Basic Instinct was one of the highest-grossing films of 1992. It was not only a resounding success, but of all the films released that year, it was probably the most widely discussed and was to become the 1992 film most deeply embedded in pop culture. It’s not surprising that it inspired numerous clones and rip-offs, like this clumsy 1994 effort which was saddled with poor performances and low production values to match its tired script.
Even the trailer was a total cheesefest which completely spoiled the only significant plot point that differed from Basic Instinct. The only redeeming aspect of the trailer, as well as the film itself, is some nudity.
There were plenty of sexy shenanigans from Anna Levine (in the Sharon Stone role) and Stephanie Swinney as her female lover.
Anna Levine
Stephanie Swinney
Anna Levine (or Thomson) has an interesting career. I was wondering where I recognized her from and checked out her IMDb page. She was in Unforgiven! And before that she was a regular for what looks like a season of The Tracey Ullman Show! She has a bunch of other interesting credits. The last movie she was in that I’ve even heard of was Water Drops on Burning Drops, and that’s only because of Ludivine Sagnier’s nudity.
