The Fourth Man (1983)
Member Rating:  
This stylish erotic thriller gained a cult following for its frank treatment of bisexuality, bizarre visuals, and an extremely sexy performance by Renee Soutendijk as a woman who may or may not have killed her three previous husbands. Jeroen Krabbe is terrific as the intended fourth, a broken-down bisexual writer who is pulled into Soutendijk's web like an unsuspecting fly. Bloody and erotic, De Vierde Man will also interest fans of director Paul Verhoeven, who returned to many of the same themes in his smash American hit Basic Instinct. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

    Someone once said that this is the best movie Brian De Palma never made. It has rightly been compared to Hitchcock's works. Sure, there are intentionally gross scenes, sure there are controversial scenes (like the lead's sexual obsession with Christ on the Cross), but rarely does a movie so effectively build up such a sense of foreboding without jumping over into the real of movies whose characters should just leave the haunted house already. The soundtrack, cinematography and acting are terrific. Really outstanding.

    Paul Verhoeven is SOO under-rated as a great director; he's a unique blend of "art" director and commercial hitmaker. This is his second excellent and strange movie - with MANY more to come!
