It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

... View MoreThe Kari Wührer fans should rejoice alsoas she is the real star of Sensation (1995).Being one of those fans myself,I can testify that Sensation was a treat.On the scale of the straight-to-video 'sexploitation movies,this one gets a 7 ½ .(It is useless to try rating these movies in an artistic context ;so,we apply a pragmatic rating, independent of those used for other classes of films.)It's pretty well paced. My only objection is against Roberts' stupid apparitions as a feline sexy machothey did not work.A very interesting woman is Mrs. Stansfield as "Paula"her jugs are visible a couple of times,as Sensation (1995) does something for showcasing her charms also.The film is the regular cocktail of soft-core eroticism+thriller+ mentally ill characters, psychiatric undertows and undercurrents+supernatural.The two actresses that show their tits are fine.Now,after so many years,this movie looks like a B classic.It has a fine pace and some scenes are pretty suspenseful in a conventional waythose who ought to.It offers what it promises.Some suspense,a few pairs of jugs,some suspense, bizarre people,etc..Sensation (1995) belongs to the era that preceded Kari Wührer's mainstream breakthrough.But she continued to be a B movie cult actress even after that.
... View MoreFirst of all, you don't pick up movies like this for high drama or auteur (check Fellini or Goodard if you want that)...you get them because they combine a nice combination of eroticism, skin and a plot that holds your attention. This one succeeds. It's a slight notch above your average skin-a-max flick, largely because of the luscious Kari Wuhrer, who's made a (surprisingly long) career out of being a sexy brunette that the screen loves.Here, we see much skin and some nice action, as she plays a woman w/ psychic abilities, caught up in a murder mystery. Nice simulated sex scenes, Kari and Claire Stansfield are hot (great boobs), and Eric Roberts (one of the all-time great scenery chewers, and I mean that w/ love) make this worth a look. As a thriller, it's pedestrian, but holds attention.If you're looking for something really raunchy, get a Surrender Cinema flick or something from Penthouse. If you want high art, get the Unbearable Lightness of Being (or something). If you're looking for a mildly entertaining movie that titillates, check this one out.
... View MoreB-movie stars Roberts and Wuhrer are appropriately cast in this slick B-flick which tells of a young woman who has psychometric visions in which she sees her college professor as a sex crazed murderer. As one might expect, Wuhrer vamps it up showing off oodles of skin while Roberts teeters between legit and psycho in an attempt to hold audience interest in the absence of a real story. Titillation and psychobabble are the hallmarks of this lame hodge-podge of murder, sex, and the paranormal. Okay for adult couch potatoes in the mood for a sexsational no brainer. (C-)
... View MoreI think that this is a very icky movie. Too much flesh and not enough acting. Another reviewer thought Kari Wuhrer did a good acting job...um, no. It was good to begin with, and then in the end she turned into B-movie actress of the year. Plus the movie makes no sense. And what is with the ceiling fans? Really, skip this one if you are considering it.
