A victim of an abusive partner fakes her own death and flees his creepy towel- and kitchen pantry-tidying ways, but we know he will catch up with her one day, living her new life in an easy, folksy South where the new hunk next door probably just hasn't revealed his own particular brand of woman-hate yet, in this 1989 thriller that bookends a long dull romance with scenes of sanitised spousal abuse - watch Murdered By My Boyfriend for the stomach-churning no-holds-barred reality of these controlling, deadly relationships.
