Featured review
Entertaining escapism
My review was written in October 1990 after watching the movie on Quest Entertainment video cassette.
Escaping after three years on the shelf, "Escape" is a low-key, souther-fried melodrama released direct-to-video.
Probably unintentionally the heroine Kim Richards and hero Kin Shriner resemble Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, stuck in a tiny North Carolina town owned and ruled by corrupt Judson Scott.
Richards, who also co-produced the feature, has traveled from Chicago to find out what really happened to her brother (whom we see murdered by Scott's henchmen in a prolog). Shriner is a mysterious stranger who rides into town on a motorcycle with an unknown agenda.
Plot revolves around a belief in ghosts. In particular, the ghost of Lydia (Kyle Richards, presumably the lead's sister, who she resembles) keeps appearing. Unfortunately, the supernatural subplot is never resolved.
With a voice uncannily like Moore's, Kim RIchards makes a good impression. Kim Milford has an okay turn as a slightly backward local guy who is befriended by the visiting good guys. Scott's bad guy could have used some shading.
