P.O.V.

DVD International presents an "edgy, urban [interactive] story about obsession, art, eroticism and murder." When a beautiful but reclusive artist develops an erotic obsession for her handsome young neighbor, the line between real and imagined begins to blur as a dark and dangerous secret surfaces from her past. How does it all end? That's up to you. Yep, you the viewer, with remote control in hopefully sweaty palm, answer several series of questions throughout the film and determine just how this titillating story will progress. Unfortunately, despite being well shot and acted (considering the budget), neither the plotline nor mystery are anywhere near strong enough to keep one glued to the remote. DVD International has released several of these interactive titles so far, including the diverting Tender Loving Care, and I'm certain that one day this innovative company will make a huge success of it, but that day has yet to arrive. Not recommended. (S. C. Sickles)
