Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Some couple is having sex in the woods. The guys gets rougher. When the bored girl says something, he snaps her neck.We meet some loner who lives in the woods. A screaming and crying girl named Annie knocks on his door for help. In flashbacks we learn that this girl and the dead girl are strippers/friends/roommates. They went out on a date with cops, a date in the woods, where things get heated. We also learn that a series of girls have disappeared in the area.She tells him the story. She went looking for her friend and found her dead body so she started to run with the cops chasing her. They eventually arrive at his cabin. While he doesn't want to have any trouble with the law, he still lies for her and claims to not have seen anything. He's had some trouble with the law in the past. Through research they discover that one of the cops is some corrupt but well-connected creep.Of course the cops are very motivated not to leave a living witness. When the guy and Annie go into the woods they eventually run into the cops of course. The guy will have to decide whether he's going to act or just try avoid trouble. But there's a cool twist near the end.The Victim is a fairly plain, short, and simple low-budget horror thriller. It benefits from the presence of the likable Michael Biehn and the occasional appearance of the lovely Danielle Harris. Direction and acting are sometimes off the mark. There's a bit of violence, gore, and nudity. But the movie is fairly raunchy. There's something to be said for ending on a strong note and The Victim delivers with the neat twist, that while not entirely surprising is well handled. The story in a way deserved a larger budget. Still, The Victim is a success for the Biehns.

For a thriller, then "The Victim" was as predictable and 'by-the-book' as they come. Everything that happened in the movie, you saw it coming a mile away - well, except for the ending, which I found to be really great, especially as Michael Biehn delivered it so gracefully.The story in "The Victim" is about Kyle (played by Michael Biehn) who lives isolated as a hermit in a small cottage in the middle of nowhere. Then one night a Annie (played by Jennifer Blanc) comes banging on his door, pleading for help, claiming that she is being followed and that the men killed her friend Mary (played by Danielle Harris). Following that, two officers of the law, James (played by Ryan Honey) and Jonathan (played by Denny Kirkwood) shows up at the cottage to ask Kyle some questions. Something is not adding up here, but what? The acting in the movie was alright, nothing extraordinary or remarkable though. But people did alright with their given characters and roles.Despite being very predictable, then "The Victim" was actually entertaining and had a nice ending. There was a good and constant pace to the movie, which was alright, and the movie never slowed down and became dull. It was just a shame that the movie suffered horribly from its predictability.As for the soundtrack to the movie, well personally I didn't find it the least bit interesting or suitable, but of course, we all have very different taste in music. I just found this soundtrack unsuitable and the songs didn't really fit into the mood of the movie.There are far better thrillers out there on the movie market, but still, "The Victim" is good for a single watching, as it just doesn't have the contents to support more than a single watching.

I'm not a big fan of movies like this one, but it's pretty solid for what it represents. It is a surprise that Michael Biehn would do something like this, but he's open about this movie. It's not supposed to be taken seriously in any way. I get it that people were not pleased by it, but I'd hope some reviews wouldn't be so personal. I don't think Jennifer Blanc does a good job in this, but insulting her with foul language is really not a good way to express that.The movie itself is pretty predictable, has some sex, some violence in it and Michael Biehn does also play in his own movie. This was shot quick and as gritty as possible. It's not for film purists and it won't satisfy gore hounds either (most of them anyway). But while ill-advised flashbacks do not add anything to the story, you're wasting your time being angry at a movie, that never pretends to be anything else than it actually is. If this is the worst movie you've seen, you should call yourself lucky or watch more movies. In any way, this curiosity is worth a look, but don't bother watching more than 5-10 minutes, if you feel that it doesn't work for you.

I watched this movie yesterday and it held me and I was always interested in where it was going.Why people are giving it one star because they feel some reviews are biased means the whole rating of this movie is incorrect.Terms like "worst movie I've ever seen" seem ridiculous as it is not. Ghost rider 2 came out and that was my vote for worst recent movie.some acting was good some was cheesy and cardboard but overall it didn't affect the movie as most was fine. If you are going to pigeon hole it I would say grind house would be a good place to put it. Don't expect Shakespeare.I would definitely watch another movie like this again but won't watch this movie again as after the first viewing there is nothing to be gained from another viewing.
