This British chiller is a polished effort which keeps you watching without being very original. Diana, a naive young woman has unnerving dreams in apprehension of her imminent marriage to a Falklands war hero in whom the tabloid press are interested ( a bit of a stretch for 1988) .These take a disurbing turn for the worse when she encounters a young American woman who was brought up in her house. The acting of both the young lovers could be better but Jimmy Nail and Timothy Spall are entertaining as gutter pressmen.
Jemma Redgrave ( as Diana )
Sex : Diana is a virgin
Death : Survives

Jemma is the daughter of Loony Left actor Corin Redgrave. She had already made a mark on stage before making her screen debut in this film. Although she has made other films, she is primarily a TV actress playing the title role in Bramwell, a recurring role in Holby City and an ongoing role in Dr Who. She is also active in the theatre.
Kathleen Wilhoite ( as Jenny )
Sex : No
Death : Survives

Kathleen does her usual kooky turn in this one.
Annabelle Lanyon ( as Little Jenny )
Sex : n/a
Death : See above

A very strange piece of casting here as Annabelle was actually four years older than her adult counterpart and doesn't look remotely like her. She started out as a child actress in the early seventies appearing in Pardon My Genie and The Adventures Of Black Beauty and continued playing children into her twenties. Annabelle took a sabbatical from acting in the early nineties but returned to the screen in the noughties and is still active, mainly in horror films.
