Praying Mantis (1993)

The Blind Rage Podcast creeps into the made for television shadows of PRAYING MANTIS (1993), a chilly domestic thriller where wedding bells toll like a countdown clock and romance comes gift wrapped with a life insurance policy. Jane Seymour plays a bride with a pattern, Barry Bostwick is the hopeful groom walking straight into it, and Chad Allen’s suspicious son watches the new family portrait develop into something far more sinister than anyone wants to admit. This is not glamour and candlelight. It is calculated affection, locked doors, and the creeping realization that love can be a carefully staged crime scene. We lean into the quiet menace, the simmering paranoia, and the wonderfully straight faced intensity that made '90s television thrillers such delicious late night viewing. There is something wickedly funny about how polite the danger feels, how neatly the horror is packaged, and how every tender moment carries the faint scent of embalming fluid.
