FRIEND OF THE FAMILY 2 1996 (TUBI)

I caught this on Tubi with the title "Passionate Revenge" and really enjoyed it.

Fred Olen Ray directed this erotic thriller that really has noting to do with the first film at all. In this movie you have Alex (Paul Michael Robinson) who is gone a lot on his job and is currently in New Orleans.

While at a bar with a co-worker he meets a gorgeous woman named Linda (Shauna O' Brien) who has just broken up with her boyfriend. The two have a very torrid affair for a couple of days and then Alex returns to California and his wife Maddy (Jenna Bodnar) and their infant son.

Things are fine for a while until Maddy wants to return to work and wants to hire a nanny. Guess who gets the job? Linda, much to the shock of Alex. This sets up what I consider to be a very good movie more like the Shannon Tweed film "Scorned" than anything else.

O' Brien is totally nuts as the psycho who blackmails Alex into having a relationship with her while in his own home. The ending is a most bizarre one and very bleak if you pay attention.

The rest of the cast includes Arthur Roberts, Jeff Rector, Don Scribner and Kevin Patrick Walls. If you check this out I hope you like it. I know I did.
