A couple spends a weekend at their holiday home, where an intimate game takes an unexpected turn when the husband has a heart attack while the wife is tied to the bed.
A sort of a horror film, but more likely a psychological analysis, based on a novel by Stephen King. Probably more effective than an ordinary horror due to the very palpable paranoid frenzy, caused by such natural human feelings in an unusual but quite possible context which forces the main character to initiate a series of introspective stages. These take place either as natural reactions to being stuck in one place, or are consequences of the activity of the character's subconscious that's now animated by a survival instinct. Carla Gugino is wonderful in this role.
