Although Shannon Tweed is the big name in "Night Fire", she has a limiting role here - an erotically timid, workaholic businesswoman - that doesn't allow her to be (and have) much fun (I've always thought that she is more effective as an aggressive rather than as a passive character). You keep expecting her to "cut loose", but it never really happens. Instead, the movie is completely stolen away by Rochelle Swanson as the provocative, promiscuous "bad girl". Swanson has a spectacular body - her ass in particular is unmatchable - but it is her face that really gives her most of her sexiness: it is quite expressive, and when that expression turns naughty / playful / dominant, she becomes so sexy she almost eliminates the erotic B-movie queen Tweed out of the picture! The film itself is very slow-moving and the plot doesn't stand up to much scrutiny, but Rochelle makes this worth watching. Don't miss the opening sequence, where she traps a woman in a nicely applied wrestling hold while her boyfriend is beating up her victim's boyfriend, and then she proceeds to continue his beating on her own! ** out of 4.

A night of wild burning and deadly passion
sol-kay16 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** Needing to take some time off from their jobs and infuse some red hot action into their sagging married life Lydia & Barry, Shannon Tweed & John Laughin,take off for their country horse farm for a weekend of hot and heavy action in and out of bed as well as in their outdoor jacuzzi.
This weekend in the country is more or less Barry's idea since we see right away that his sexy and beautiful wife Lydia is a bit taken back by his wild and kinky sexual fantasies that he tries to force her into having with him. In comes this couple Gwen & Cal, Rochelle Swanson & Martin Hewett, from out of nowhere who end up staying at Lydia and Barry's place for the rest of the movie to both arouse and entertain them, with their hot and in your face sexual aerobatics. The swinging couple is also there for a real and deadly reason that's finally explained at the very end of the movie.
Lydia just can't keep up with Barry's tastes for kinky and brutal sex. Barry feeling frustrated in not being able to have Lydia fulfill his sick and perverted, as well as criminal, sexual desires hired the two drifters, Gwen & Cal, to stay at the horse farm and get Lydia into the groove and have her become as sick and perverted as he is. We had earlier seen the two weirdos work over a couple, Jeff Carlson & Lisa Welch, in a back alley just for fun and games. Later driving to the horse farm we see them putting on an act by both flashing and mooning a number of motorists to the point where they almost cased them to drive off the road.
At the farm Barry and his hired hands, whom he was to pay $10,000.00 for their services, Cal & Gwen start to work on poor and unsuspecting Lydia by trying to drive Lydia out of her self-imposed shell of normality. The two turn her into a wild and crazy no holds barred swinger but things start to go a bit off the wall even for Barry when he's caught talking to his girlfriend on his cell-phone by Gwen. You at first don't exactly know why Gwen is so mad and upset with Barry but feel that he's somehow romantically involved with her.
The plot gets more confusing as it goes along even though it's know that Barry is the one who has Gwen & Cal over at the ranch to get his frigid wife hot as a pistol for him to bed down.It's then there's a sudden turn at the very end of the movie that in it's own half-a** way explain what was really happening in the film and even more to the point who was the one causing it to happen.
Standard soft-core, released straight to video, drama with the sexy Shannon Tweed giving it her all in a role very unlike the one's your used to seeing her in as a woman who just can't seem to satisfy her husband Barry, in this case it's fiction being stranger then truth. Sahnnon needs outside help, from Cal & Gwen, to get her engine both jump-started and going on the right track in sexually fulfilling him in his sexual needs. John Laughlin as Barry is nothing but a sick, even in a soft-core sex video, and dangerous weirdo but you later realize that it's all an act on his part with his wife Lydia's bank account as well as stock and bond portfolio's as the real reason for his strange behavior. Both Rochelle Swanson & Matin Hewitt as Gwen & Cal are not as stupid and naive as we were first thought to believe that they were knowing all along what their real reason for being at the horse ranch is and setting up their intended victim for the hot and sizzling final act in "Night Fire" that's to end the film.

Good twist ending.

A couple struggling with their troubled marriage have their home invaded by another couple. What insures is sex and more sex. Not too explicit for genre, and certainly smarter than most in it. Contains a twist ending, and ok acting and direction. Not bad. 6/10
Underrated

This film is criminally underrated. Sure, it's weird and over-the-top and completely unbelievable; but it's a "late night" movie.
Shannon Tweed's character and her husband are going through a bit of a rough patch. Mainly because she's not kinky. So her husband hires two criminals to come to the house and pretend that their car broke down and basically have sex in front of them all weekend. I mean who hasn't been there? Right?
Like I said, the movie is far from believable but it is entertaining and very sexy. Mostly because of Rochelle Swanson. Shannon Tweed has a few good scenes too but the sex appeal belongs to Swanson in this movie.
I won't get into the ending but this movie is easily a 6/10. I don't know who the hell watches this kind of movie and then gives it a 1/10. What the hell were you expecting? Basic Instinct?
This is a low-budget erotic thriller. If you like these kinds of films you should like this one. You know who you are.

Tweed "erotic Thriller" #212
movieman_kev16 October 2003
Shannon Tweed is a frigid wife in this one. Her husband's pretty much an abusive ass. Another couple fresh from assaulting some people on the street, stop by & attempt to "kink" Tweed up some. For one of those late-night movies, It's not that bad.
Where i saw it: Showtime on Demand
My Grade: B-
Eye Candy: B-Movie starlets, Shannon Tweed & Rochelle Swanson (whom i saw in the last movie i reviewed, Sorceress, as well), Both have multiple scenes where they show massive... acting abilities. heh
