MVD Entertainment Group will be guiding the Taylor and
Dodge, LLC DVD debut of director James Camali’s A Fatal Obsession to
market on Aug. 16.
Christie Ryan (Tracy Nelson — perhaps best knows as Sister
Stephanie Oskowski in the Father Dowling Mysteries television
series; also daughter of Ricki Nelson) has it all, a nice home, a lovely
daughter, Miri (played by Remington Moses — the daughter of Tracy Nelson and
grand daughter of Ricki Nelson), and a famous horror writer for a husband.
There’s just one little problem, her
husband, Michael (Eric Roberts), is losing his mind to acute alcoholism and
finally goes off his rocker.
The target of his rage is his wife, who he suspects of
having an affair and even though that’s not the case it doesn’t stop him from trying
to kill her during a drunken rage (a beautifully played Eric Roberts
derangement moment in which he seems to be channeling famed horror writer
Stephen King). Miri intervenes, clocks
dear old dad and both her and her mom make good their escape. Short film, right? Wrong.
This is where it gets really twisted. Michael undergoes plastic surgery and
becomes unrecognizable (which is handled nicely by having Mike DiGiacinto step
into to play Roberts’ character in the second half of the film) and makes it
his personal goal to track his wife and daughter down and finish what he
started! Anyone who gets in the way
better start digging their own grave.
