Tall, Dark and Deadly
Tall, Dark and Deadly ★★½ 1995 (R)
Roy (Scalia) romances Maggie (Delaney), a young woman he's met in a bar. The viewer's already clued in that Roy's a bad ‘un (seein' as how he's killed one woman) and when he chains Maggie to a sink, she picks up on the idea that he's a wacko. Basic damsel-in-distress with a cast that manages to keep straight faces in the most preposterous of circumstances. 88m/C VHS . Jack Scalia, Kim Delaney, Todd Allen, Gina Mastrogiacomo, Ely Pouget; D: Kenneth Fink; W: Mary-Anne Kasica, Michael Scheff; M: Joseph Vitarelli. CABLE
