“Extremities stars Farrah Fawcett as Marjorie who is attacked by a man in a ski mask on a routine trip to get ice cream. She manages to get away, but she forgets her purse and she starts living in constant fear that heu0026#39;ll use her drivers license to find her. To make matters worse, the police say thereu0026#39;s very little they can do unless he does come back. One day, when her roommates (Diana Scarwid, Alfre Woodard) are out of the house, this man (James Russo) does return sans ski mask and is hoping to finish the job this time. But is Marjorie more prepared than she was the last time?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn the surface, Extremities sounds like any other typical slasher/home invasion thriller, but thanks to its stage roots, it plays out with more psychological mind games than your usual slasher flick. For example, the attacker, Joe, will try to make Marjorie think that no one will believe her and he even tries to turn her friends on her once they return and heu0026#39;s been captured.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFawcett is in just about every frame of the film and her transition from meek victim to take no prisoners woman is a sight to behold. Itu0026#39;s probably her finest performance. Scarwid and Woodard have a bit less to do, but are both incredibly effective with Russo sleazing up the joint (in the best way) as Joe.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eExtremities is highly recommended for fans of thrillers.”
