Eleanor Ringel Cater Atlanta Journal-Constitution The Seduction Is the stupidest movie I've seen in months and when you consider the morass of product... that most reviewers sit through, that's saying quite a lot. But I don't think you have to be a reviewer to come to this particular conclusion. Dec 7, 2020 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This is one dreadful thriller, crippled by a lack of suspense, a lack of originality, and a lack of smarts. Rated: 1/4 May 24, 2019 Full Review Chuck O'Leary FulvueDrive-in.com Guilty pleasures don't get much guiltier than The Seduction. Rated: C+ Nov 14, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Ed . Beautiful blonde plays very hard to get for handsome hunk. This film breaks preconceptions and prejudices. Not of anything of societal importance. Just that false assumption that women are sexually harassed by unattractive guys who won't take 'no' for an answer, while handsome men never receive 'no'. Well, this may be the outlier that actually proves the rule. Great early 80s look. An enjoyable easy watch with no redeemable value. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 This has so much more potential but in the end it was worth a one time watch. This could be a candidate for a remake. Fairchild was gorgeous and did very well but the story was too simple. I wanted it to be more of Horror Movie with more dead bodies. Tim Treakle Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Jeff M If I had a Mount Rushmore of Guilty Pleasure Movies, there's a strong possibility that Morgan Fairchild would be replacing Theodore Roosevelt. This is a textbook example of a bad motion picture being elevated to near-greatness by the sheer audacity of its awfulness - and it's absolutely irresistible. Yes, it's sleazy and politically incorrect. Yes, Fairchild's performance is the equivalent of one of those creepy mannequins without facial features at Target. But I would gladly watch this over any number of designated "good" films any day of the week. And there are actually legitimate attributes here as well. It's beautiful to look at - the production design is fantastic - particularly Fairchild's condo. And Stevens manages to create a truly creepy and memorable villain. I'm not sure you'll truly be able to appreciate the significance of this movie unless you're a child of the 80s who grew up with HBO. Forget the critics - just buckle up and enjoy the ride. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Audience Member THE SEDUCTION (1982) I am so happy they decided to restore this retro, schlocky gem that I might have never seen. It stars a fierce and gorgeous Morgan Fairchild as a tv news personality who finds herself stalked by a sexy, obsessive stalker played by a hunky Andrew Stevens. It's pretty by the numbers but it's a fun horroresque, erotic thriller that really delivers. Not to spoil anything but basically she just reaches the point where she refuses to be the victim and fights back. It's pretty damn satisfying. Budget: $3m Box Office: $11.4m 7.5/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member When you are frightened of a deranged stalker, what do you do...get naked in the hot tub of course... the plot was ridiculous.
