An Exercise In Nonsense

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Jenny Garth is a terrible actress, have never liked her in anything she's been in and she twitches her mouth a lot! It amazes me that she keeps getting parts! Are the directors deaf and blind? So many things wrong with this movie besides the bad acting, except David Lewis was very good! I don't think detectives do the things these ones did and no lawyer would do the stupid things Garth did---like send her office assistant off to the police station knowing she was meeting up with the killer! Wouldn't she keep her safe with her and have the police come to them!! I found myself yelling at the TV and shaking my head with the stupidity of everyone! Do yourself a favour, turn it off immediately.

I just watched this movie with my wife last night, and I have to say a frontal lobotomy would probably be more enjoyable the suffering through this movie. This is by far the biggest piece of garbage I have ever seen in my life, and that's saying a lot. It's Filled with bad acting, and completely unrealistic scenarios. I have watched some Bad Movies before, but this one is the king of the crap pile, Making me wonder how this movie got out of production..I created an account on here just to rate this crappy movie..The BS in this movie is so deep Adele couldn't roll in it! Do yourself a favor and forget that you even heard about this movie!

I've said this review contains a spoiler but really the title itself does that, given that they start with seven victims … A film that doesn't really need to bother with stuff like realistic characters, plotting or dialogue, presuming that if we're willing to suspend disbelief enough to accept Jennie Garth (yes you know her – Kelly from 'Beverly Hills 90210') as a hotshot lawyer who seamlessly metamorphoses into a successful therapist, we'd pretty much go along with anything. And not wonder (in a physician, heal thyself, kind of way) why Jennie (let's not bother with character names since she doesn't bother to act), intelligent psychiatrist, doesn't wean herself off the anxiety pills she's been on since her last case but instead has to continually reach for them in a panic at the slightest sound.Sometimes I think that film as a whole would be immeasurably improved if there were a veto against flashbacks. Jennie obviously agrees with me. Forced to endure acting a series of flashbacks of being throttled, she reasons that it's not worth wasting too much effort on these, opting not to bother to change her expression when strangled. She simply looks a little peeved, like she might have to (but maybe not) miss a hair appointment. She greets most of the events in the movie with this look of mild annoyance and a hair toss. Inexplicably antagonistic to the police, she accuses them of suspecting her of the murder although they haven't shown any sign of this and appear completely bemused by her attitude.I soon find myself wishing that the serial killer of the seven women would make Jennie his eighth victim (for crimes against acting although I have to hold the director partly responsible) granting us a merciful release from the rest of the movie – another three victims' long (we would have to alter the title to 'The Eighth Victim') and Jennie would not have to spout such lines as 'I think he's playing some sick game with me'. She tries to call the police, saying it's a matter of 'life or death'. Unfortunately, her lack of emphasis means it comes across more like a matter of 'deep pan or thin crust' so she doesn't quite get the response she wants.With the killer eventually confessing to his crimes in detail, as they almost always do in these movies, Jennie symbolically chucks her tablets away, even though the last time he was caught and in jail, she took them all the time. Where's the logic?Anyway, hope springs eternal that someone out there will like this garbage so be very afraid, the door has been left open for a sequel. After seeing this though, you'll want to slam it shut. Otherwise – 'The Twelfth Victim' anyone?

I would have rated the film an extra 1/2* had it ended when the sadistic killer got what was coming to him.Interesting story where a District Attorney has to leave her job after nearly being choked in court by the guy she was able to convince a jury had killed seven women.Our D.A. goes to N.Y. to become a therapist. Amazing all the degrees she has.Based on a DNA irregularity, our killer is released and heads to N.Y. to commit more mayhem and get even with the prosecutor.As her patients become victims, the police suspect her and she is eventually arrested. It's hard to fathom that a bulletin wasn't put out when our killer left Atlanta after being released, but told to stay in waiting for a new trial.After all is said and done, we learn of another agenda that our eager defense attorney had. Just when you finally think that matters have been resolved, our killer, who was wounded, escapes from the hospital and is on the loose again.The plot is overdrawn.
