KNIFETIME is a series hosted by Allyson Spina where we revel in the cheesy glory of a bad Lifetime Original Movie! Featuring a special movie-specific drink special and wisecracking commentary from local comedians, this FREE one-of-a-kind event is the 2024 winner of St. Louis Magazine’s A-List Award for Best Movie Night!

Do you love cheesy thrillers with over-the-top plots and characters? Then you’ll love Dangerous Medicine, which tells the story of Tony, a handsome athlete who loses the use of his legs in a car crash. He is helped to walk again by Daphne, his physical therapist, who seems to be the perfect woman. But soon, Tony discovers that Daphne’s loving care is actually a sick obsession, and she will stop at nothing to possess him forever. Dangerous Medicine is full of twists and turns, as Tony tries to escape from Daphne’s clutches, while she uses her medical skills and cunning to sabotage his life. Get ready for some truly outrageous moments, such as Daphne amputating Tony’s arm. As Tony says in the film, “I don’t need your dangerous medicine. I need love.” Don’t we all?

This event is 100% free of charge!
