Synopsis
Extremities (1986) is Robert M. Young's nerve-shredding thriller, available to watch online on iFILM. Farrah Fawcett plays Marjorie, who fights off an attacker in broad daylight and gets away — but he keeps her bag, and with it her address.
The police have nothing to act on. Days later he's at her door. From there the film flips the power: the would-be victim disarms the man and is left with a choice that turns the stomach — hand him to a system more likely to believe him than her, or pass judgment herself. Almost the whole story unfolds in a single house with three women at its center, as roommates played by Diana Scarwid and Alfre Woodard come home to a captive in the living room.
William Mastrosimone adapted his own Broadway play, and the stage-tight confinement works as a weapon — the pressure never eases. The part stripped Fawcett of her breezy TV image; she's raw and frightening here. Not a cozy-night pick. Stream Extremities (1986) online on iFILM.
