Talk about obsessive love. "Boxing Helena," was made in 1993 by Dave Lynch's daughter, Jennifer. It stars Julian Sands and is definitely not made for the faint of heart.
This film is about a surgeon (Julian Sands)who becomes insanely obsessed with a seductive and mesmerizing woman (Sherilyn Fenn) he once had an affair with.
Refusing to accept that she has moved on, he amputates her limbs and holds her captive in his mansion.
Even though this is an old film, it still is disturbing and shows how much love can do to a person.
I wouldn't say this is the greatest movie ever made, but the story and concept is very crazy and unique. Even the music group, "The Misfits," did a song on the film, titled of course, "Helena."

Boxing Helena - I remember it well; especially the odd way Julian Sands sounded when he said 'Helena' - like an out of breath child. It was an odd film, you're right; but it kept me wanting to see what crazy thing would happen next. Just when you think it had gone way too over the top it goes a step further and then you're left with a 'Bobby Ewing' scene... I think both actors really fit their parts. Cool flick.
