Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The eternally scantily clad Alyssa Milano (Body Count executive producer as well as star) gives a solid performance as the newest member of a wealthy clan whose constant in-fighting is terminally interrupted by a deadly pack of art thieves determined to add a few more skeletons to the already overstuffed family closet. This well-constructed, dark-edged melding of Die Hard and Peyton Place mostly runs like a dream, despite a few off-putting flashes of lame humor (courtesy of swaggering head killer Ice-T), and a Usual Suspects-inspired ending that, while certainly surprising, doesn't really seem to fit the material. All in all, this is a well-acted, surprisingly artful slice of pulp containing a welcome vein of genuine dread. --Andrew Wright

Product Description

Justin Theroux is Daniel Beckett, the black sheep son of a wealthy New York art dealer. He and his girlfriend, Suzanne (Alyssa Milano), are meeting his family for Thanksgiving at their sprawling country estate. During dinner, Daniel's domineering father informs him he must join the family business or be cut off from their vast wealth. Daniel and Suzanne retreat downstairs to the basement when... ...screams and gunfire erupt from above! A band of murderous thieves, lead by Jim (Ice T), has entered the house and is killing off Daniel's family. Knowing that the only way to survive is to take the offensive and fight back, Daniel and Suzanne eliminate the killers one by one. With the body count rising, a shocking twist to this deadly game of cat and mouse proves that blood isn't always thicker than water.

5.0 out of 5 stars SEXY THRILLER WITH A KIND OF HEARTFELT VIOLENCE, February 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Body Count [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie starts out as a young couple driving to the husband's family's house. When they get there, [Alyssa Milano] immediately finds out that the husband (i forgot his name) is not well appreciated. So they go deep into the basement to talk, and end up making love. While they are having sex, they hear commotion upstairs. They find that everyone upstairs has been killed. Then [Alyssa] soon finds out that....well I can't spoil the movie but it's great despite Alyssa's seemingly massive rash of low-budget movies. (I like her in Charmed on the WB)

5.0 out of 5 stars Alyssa Milano is Hot!!!!!!!!!!!!, January 27, 2006

By	Alyssa Milano Fan. - See all my reviews

This movie was one of the best Alyssa Milano movies ever! It was brilliant. The acting was brilliant which I would expect from Alyssa but I was glad to see that the other actors didnt let her down. If you havnt bought this movie yet I strongly advise you do. And as the other reviews have said the twists that occur the whole way through will suprise you even the second or third time you watch it!
