Sensation (1994)

good back-story, and good acting

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

With talent on board, Eric Roberts, Kari Wuhrer, Ron Perlman, Ed Begley Jr., and Paul LeMat, this pseudo-science based thriller starts strong, but ends up a mess. Intriguing at first with Roberts employing Wuhrer to test his theory (Psychometry) that objects retain impressions of the past, the middle part seems very repetitive and drags, while the rushed conclusion is really an "are you kidding me?". Roberts is his usual quirky self. Wuhrer is sexy with several erotic scenes and plays a character who can see the past by touching things, similar to Christopher Walken's in "The Dead Zone". Perlman is under used as a police detective, while Begley Jr., and LeMat are totally wasted in unnecessary roles. - MERK

First of all, you don't pick up movies like this for high drama or auteur (check Fellini or Goodard if you want that)...you get them because they combine a nice combination of eroticism, skin and a plot that holds your attention. This one succeeds. It's a slight notch above your average skin-a-max flick, largely because of the luscious Kari Wuhrer, who's made a (surprisingly long) career out of being a sexy brunette that the screen loves.Here, we see much skin and some nice action, as she plays a woman w/ psychic abilities, caught up in a murder mystery. Nice simulated sex scenes, Kari and Claire Stansfield are hot (great boobs), and Eric Roberts (one of the all-time great scenery chewers, and I mean that w/ love) make this worth a look. As a thriller, it's pedestrian, but holds attention.If you're looking for something really raunchy, get a Surrender Cinema flick or something from Penthouse. If you want high art, get the Unbearable Lightness of Being (or something). If you're looking for a mildly entertaining movie that titillates, check this one out.

B-movie stars Roberts and Wuhrer are appropriately cast in this slick B-flick which tells of a young woman who has psychometric visions in which she sees her college professor as a sex crazed murderer. As one might expect, Wuhrer vamps it up showing off oodles of skin while Roberts teeters between legit and psycho in an attempt to hold audience interest in the absence of a real story. Titillation and psychobabble are the hallmarks of this lame hodge-podge of murder, sex, and the paranormal. Okay for adult couch potatoes in the mood for a sexsational no brainer. (C-)

This movie was nothing more than predictable and boring. And i can not believe it was rated R.... there are so many risque things that could be considered NC-17 in quality.... strange. I definitely would not recommend this movie to anyone.
