Original Title:
Desire and Hell at Sunset Motel
Twin Peaks Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn) is the provocative heart of this strange, shambling and daft dialogue-heavy black comedy, which tries very hard, but doesnt quite hit the mark.
Its 1958 and Fenn is staying at Paul Bartels tacky motel with a husband who might want to kill her, a private detective hes hired to check out her love life and a man on the side whos much more than he seems. All of them are at cross purposes, and all get awful lines to spout, but Fenn, in her black swimsuit, at least proves decisively that she was indeed the most beautiful woman in the universe.
That said, it still isnt very good
Not even Sherilyn's twin peaks in a bikini can save this one
