Review:
Movies about sexual obsession and formulaic stalkers have rarely started as well as Sleeping with the Enemy does in its opening scenes.

In her first major role after Pretty Woman, a timid Julia Roberts is emotionally and physically brutalised by her financier husband. He flaunts her beauty at parties while abusing her as a servant at home, and the early beachfront scenes in the film are filled with the promise of a dramatic and thoughtful plot.

But after the wife flees several states away, tries to change her identity, and is confronted by the terror of her husband coming after her, the film unfortunately morphs into one of those cheap thrillers that hopes you actually believe the villain is dead when he's got one last stab to go. Despite directing a few cult favorites in previous years, Joseph Ruben missed the mark with Sleeping with the Enemy, providing a stereotypical plot reminiscent of Fatal Attraction and filled to the brim with outrageous fallacies of logic. After being shunned by critics, the movie still made impressive returns due to its star power.

One element of the film that was arguably somewhat awkward in the finished product was Jerry Goldsmith's mostly upbeat score. The legendary composer had transformed his horror scores from the grand scope of the Poltergeist and The Omen franchises into electronically assisted, less obvious variations for the smaller, more seedy horror projects he would accept in the early 1990s.

Surprisingly, despite the film fitting this mould quite well, Sleeping with the Enemy has little to do with the prevailing attitudes of scores like Malice and Basic Instinct that were composed at roughly the same time. The narrative of the 1991 movie required its fair share of suspenseful moments and thud-inducing horror twists, but it is, at its core, a melodic work that seems to indicate that Goldsmith was feeding off of the beauty and hopefulness of Roberts' character rather than the literally dark shades of Patrick Bergin's anger as his character conducts his creepy pursuit.
