Let's be realistic.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Admirable film.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Trish Burchall(Kelly McGillis) is a small town radio news reporter raising two daughters Lisa(Kate Elliott)and Amy(Emily Barclay). This nice, sleepy rural community has been targeted by a serial killer. Not only does he stalk young girls; he has no remorse in murdering entire families. The killings continue and the local sheriff Joe Webster(Barry Corbin)begs Trish to go on the air in hopes of providing calm and not alarming the citizens. The newswoman starts putting clues together and realizes that she and her daughters may be next on the killers to-do-list. Bad acting and predictability hurt this project. Some tense scenes, but nothing to really shiver over. This whodunit is close to being a who cares. Also in the cast: Tom Huntington, Kieren Hutchison, Daniel Gillies and Geoff Dolan.
First one family is murdered than another and both have a teen beauty queen in each family. Sheriff Barry Corbin is looking towards the young male population of his town as potential killers. However radio news reporter Kelly McGillis has her own ideas. She recalls a very similar slasher case in a neighboring town several years ago and tries to interest Corbin. Of course he's rather obtuse. Guess who's right on the subject.She's got reason for concern as her daughter Kate Elliott was good friends with the other two murdered girls. We're given an interesting trio of suspects. Backpacker Kieran Hutchison, the James Dean wannabe Daniel Gillies, and somewhat nerdy kid Tom Huntington. There's also a really dumb deputy in the mix in Craig Parker.I never as a rule expect much from these films and I'm not disappointed. The cast goes through the motions and collects their paychecks.Hey Elliott could have wound up married to the wrong one.
The acting of the the two female victims and the main lead are excruciatingly bad, Are they even American?! Mixed in with some blatant overacting and a bland script this movie is a real turkey. Avoid.
I would have given this movie a 7, but for the last minute. For 90 minutes it is an average good thriller with good acting and moments of suspense. Good to watch. The last minute spoils the thought of this movie for me. Now it is barely a 6.
