This jovially sinister, middle-class morality tale-cum-horror show is predictable, implausible and fiendishly entertaining.
Claire and Michael Bartel (Annabella Sciorra and Matt McCoy) are a prosperous suburban couple with one young daughter, Emma (Madeline Zima), and a baby boy on the way. After being sexually abused by her gynecologist, Claire files charges, leading other patients to come forward with similar
complaints. The doctor commits suicide, leaving his pregnant wife Peyton (Rebecca De Mornay) broke and homeless, and contributing to her miscarriage. While recovering, Peyton becomes obsessed with Claire and, after her release, charms her way into the Bar...
