The last horror, thriller or suspense film you watched

I really hate the use of too much CGI blood, especially when certain modern films, some not all that bad, suddenly decides to throw in stuff, that looks like it came straight from a mid 90s PC game, and even then it looks so cheap and dull. 

Mortal Passions (1989) by Andrew Lane
Well, that was just my typical "luck". Ending up, wasting time on a film, I had seen almost 4 years ago, but totally forgotten the title, but found it lying around on Youtube, looked at names like Zach Galligan and David Warner, thinking "Hey, those guys starred in one of the Waxwork films together", that, and with a title like Mortal Passions, it souned like a potential cheesy late night cable erotic thriller, which I guess it kind of is, but what I ended up with, was also the reason to why had pretty much forgotten the last visit back in winter of 2017.

This was just your ordinary generic b-movie erotic thriller, with a few familiar names and faces, where Zach plays an unlucky husband, and where his slutty wife is screwing around with a sleazeball, and the two of them are planning on killing off poor Zach, to cash in on the insurance money, but, then all of a sudden her husband's violent and psycho brother arrives, in the middle of the night. It then ends up with some crazy and hilarious scenes, where the psycho brother end up killing the slutty wife's lover, right in front of her, and what do they do next?
The two, end up making love, with the freshly killed corpse lying right next to the bed, like it is no biggie. 
Then again, the wife was not exactly all that "normal", so I guess they kind of deserved each other.

David Warner sadly, ends up wasting his talent, by sitting the entire time, on his ass, during some incredible dull and boring talking scenes with the main characters, and that is pretty much all that he got to work with. Probably done within a few shots, and then straight over to next film.
The plot is kind of similar in way, to another poor and forgettable video title by director Andrew Lane, and where his later release Distant Cousins (1993) featured also jealousy, greed and sex, where a long lost violent psycho relative, suddenly arrive on the doorstep, to cause some friction in a "perfectly" healthy relationship, but at least that film came along with a more solid cast.

Mortal Passions does deliver some pure ridiculous and sleazy as hell scenes, which kind of brighten up the mood, and makes up for the more dull and endless drivel of attempts on being a bit more serious and dramatic at times, so all in all, no changes in rating, but this one is only enter at your own risk, if you are a big fan of David Warner or Zach Galligan.
