    Predictable is an understatement in this movie. The whole thing is very forced and contrived. There is no character development and both the script and acting are over the top college fodder. All the clichés are usied in a very unintelligent and uninteresting way - the mysterious death by drugging, the suspicious step father and step sister, the seemingly uncaring mother.
    
    No one in this film seems to have true feelings. It is like it is written by someone who doesn't have any feelings themselves. The characters are ill-defined and they chop and change from being nice, to nasty, to nice again for no reason other than to confuse the audience so we aren’t supposed to know who the killer is (though it is very easy to work out). For want of a better word it is all very contrived. The conversations between the characters are clichéd and melodramatic. There is the wicked step-father, the uncaring mother, the mandatory best friend who is only appears when the writer needs and extra character for, say, grave robbing. It's like 'Society' but without the gore.
    
    The acting is atrocious from all involved and there is lots of bad dubbing. The aforementioned 'best friend' is SO bad at acting it's like he's not even in the same movie.
    
    The screenplay is so poor that it confuses the film. At points myself & my partner laughed at the absurdity of it. It's difficult to explain but we both agreed it came across a college type effort. Bad structure, two dimensional characters, Ill-fitting scenes. It had that whole 'first draft' kind of feel. For example the mother comes across as an evil woman who may have killed her husband; she gets married soon after his death and shows no feeling or thought towards her son. Then in a very contrived scene about three quarters of the way through she has a very fake monologue where she explains her deep love for her son and how she would die for him. This is not some deep and meaningful confession of love, but a lazy attempt to tell us that the mother has feelings. But all it accomplishes is to reveal that she has been portrayed as evil through the film in a very inept attempt at a red herring.
    
    Don't even get me started on the soundtrack!
    
    Whatever it is you are looking for in this film (Suspense, romance, erotic thriller), you won’t find it. One to avoid....

    Made for TV poor

    The attempt to 'set the scene' was painfully slow. As soon as you are introduced to the main characters, you know exactly what's going to happen.read more »

    B for Bisset, B for banal and B awful.

    Jackie Bisset pops up in an alarming number of truly awful films, and this is another of them. A German director I have never heard of does his best with a ... read more »
