...real threat is psychological. The new American wilderness stirs up the high-tech tourists. Hooper Allbright, head of a mail-order empire, videotapes an alien nymphet darting through the woods. Back at Coldharbor, his apartment complex in New York, he reruns the pictures and falls in love with the lithe image.

Hannah may come from the wilds of Davey Jone's Locker but Rosanna Arquette in DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN (Dunster House) hails from far less civilized terrain--New Jersey. A frustrated suburban housewife of a swimming pool salesman. Arquette goes on a spiritual quest after Susan, a debauchedly primal nymphet played by the debauchedly primal Madonna. Dewitt thinks there is something inherently fishy about equating nature and primal being with a rock star whose love handles are as big as her breasts, but the film nonetheless satisfies the teen viewer's instinctive need to have his lifestyle of Fritos and junk...
