"Extremities" is almost like a filmed play, with a marvelous 4-person cast, and it keeps one's interest even though most of the action takes place in 2 rooms of a small house. This very low budget production may have many flaws, but it is at times riveting viewing. Farrah Fawcett followed her critically acclaimed "The Burning Bed" with this film, and once again proved that she was much more than a "Charlie's Angels" pin-up. Along with Fawcett, James Russo is Joe, a truly creepy villain, and Alfre Woodard and Diana Scarwid are both terrific as Fawcett's housemates. Woodard is one of Hollywood's most beautiful and underrated actresses, and gives yet another wonderful performance, and Scarwid is very moving as she tells her personal history, and how she dealt with a similar trauma.
This is a character study of a depraved man who sets his mind on terrorizing a woman, first by assaulting her in a car, and then in a home invasion. The violence that ensues sometimes feels quite real, and the interest in the film lies mostly in the reactions by the 3 women affected by the psychological rape, and the fear of being killed by this monstrous man. It is a curious film about power and submission that doesn't always work, but the parts that do are excellent, and definitely worth watching.
Written by William Mastrosimone based on his play, and directed by Robert M. Young, "Extremities" is 89 minutes long, is often intense, and has great interaction between its 4 fine actors.

Why oh why was this woman not given the accolades she deserved!!! Great film and great acting by Farah who plays the abused woman so well. If only The Burning Bed would be released on DVD.

excellent
Fantastic film that really kept me on the edge of the seat all the way through. A triumph for any woman who has been wronged by a man! Farrah was brilliant in this tense thriller.

Controversial and upsetting
Farrah Fawcett and James Russo are ideal for these two roles. Russo is excellent as the rapist and manupulator. Read more

Extremities review
It was a good film to watch in light of the recent tragedy to Farrah Fawcett. It was not one of her best but the film was pretty powerful anyway. Read more
