Fantastic!

A Masterpiece!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I wish movie studios would stop pounding their viewers with this way over the top suspense(less) infused music background continuously as if every single scene was the climax of their film. I for one find it extremely irritating and not benefiting this particular film one iota. Christie's Revenge is as the title infers is about a young college aged women named Christie (played by Dani Kind) who has recently lost her father to a suicide for which she believes her wealthy uncle who is the established Doctor Ray Colton (John Wesley Shipp) could have loaned her father the money which apparently Christie's father wanted to borrow (twice) for Christie's college tuition.So the gist of the film is how Christie plots her revenge against her uncle which includes embarrassing the good Doctor Colton, ruining his reputation, causing grief and tension between the doctor, his wife and his daughter, and eventually explaining to her uncle after poisoning him why she was so devious and was not interested in any of the generosity that he bestowed upon Christie, such as taking her in to his own home and giving her a job in his office.I rate it a 2 for some decent acting, but as I am writing this review my head is still pounding heavily from the most irritating suspense(less) musical score in film history. Stay away from Christie's revenge as the beginning, middle and the ending are all weak, and the over the top suspense(less) music that just seemed to be non-stop would make many people want to kill themselves. Me? I would like to blame the music conductor and the film editors for this awful soundtrack. Which is the most likely reason that Christie's father killed himself at the beginning of the film so he wouldn't have to listen to it any longer.

Is the word for this vacant film about revenge. A sorry bunch of actors as well. Cynthia Gibb, whom I like, is wasted in a thankless and clueless role as the wife who is unaware of the evil around her. I mean how empty headed can you be? The husband, played by another boring actor, John Shipp, is also clueless. I mean didn't he know his brother's daughter? Come on. Then we have the witch herself, played by Danielle Kind, who goes around with one look on her face. "I'm gonna get you". The kid daughter is wise to her from the start. Played by Annie Bovaird, she's the only sensible one in the film. And of course, no one listens to her. Oh, then we have Anastasia Phillips playing a so called femme fa tale. Wrong. She was as plain and plump as she could be. The furthest from being an attractive woman. That was far fetched casting. Josh, played by Jamieson Boulanger, fared better in a smaller role. You believed him.Writing was awful, acting was hilarious, plot was predictable, directing was so-so and over all a terrible movie even for the likes of LMN.

I pity poor Doctor Colton. He's in the thrall of three of the worst women in the world.Woman Number One: Christie, his psychotic b***h of a niece who blames her uncle for the suicide of her loser father. Seems Dr. Colton didn't loan the poor sap any more money after he gambled away the first thirty-thousand.Woman Number Two: Christie's friend Selene, an ugly young woman inside and out, hoping to make a buck or two off the poor doctor but ending up with a tire iron protruding from her thick skull.Woman Number Three: His daughter Haley, a really obnoxious brat that uses her eavesdropping capabilities to help save her dad from certain death, a death probably more preferable than having to listen to her mouth the rest of his life!Add this to Canadian producer Pierre David's highly enjoyable series of evil woman thrillers like The Landlady, The Nurse, Maid of Honor, The Perfect Neighbor, and Night Caller.Christie's Revenge doesn't start off as well as I'd like but I warmed up to it after a bit. This movie, like the others, really knows how to push buttons.

Christie is a young college student who suffers from the loss of her father who committed suicide, so Christie holds her uncle responsible and plans to take her revenge.the film has a very basic plot outline, so you can pretty much predict how it all ends, but at least its great entertainment, the acting is good but some character reactions are not very convincing at times, their expressions tend to look a little wooden, although other cast members pull of their roles quite nicelyOverall, its good for those days when you have nothing to do, but do give it a try, and despite the miner flaws it will keep you entertained from start to finish.
