Spoiler alert...if you're interested...So there's three college roommates--Catherine, June, and Amanda. We learn that Amanda is a fairly promiscuous girl pretty early on in the movie. When Catherine's father, Tom, comes to visit, he sees Amanda half-naked and is immediately smitten with her. They sleep together twice before he becomes obsessed. Later on, when Amanda is finished with work one night, she asks her boss to walk her to her car, but he's on the phone. For whatever reason, she decides not to wait and is murdered in her car.From there, the plot drags on as Catherine becomes hysterical and angry while everyone's trying to figure out who killed Amanda. Meanwhile, Tom is taunted by the "creepy stalker guy" that has been watching the three girls, and tries to take advantage of June.So anyone who bothered to watch this movie is wondering, what was the point of the creepy stalker guy, and why did he send pictures of Amanda's murder when it was believed he murdered her? Tom admits in the end that he killed her; clearly the stalker guy is quite perceptive and knew what was going on, knew about Tom's obsession and wanted him to get caught.There are a lot of wasted roles in this movie, which is sad--June, Catherine's mother, and Catherine's boyfriend, Todd. If there wasn't so much time spent on the ridiculous situation of Amanda and Tom, they could have been put to better use. The police are quite gun-happy and shoot without caring--they killed the stalker trying to break in the house and they killed Tom, even though he wanted to die, when they were told to hold their fire.All in all, this is just an odd movie--I finished it shaking my head, wondering, "What did I just watch?" Don't bother with this movie unless you can't find anything else to watch--it's not worth the two hours.

My room mate and I ended watching this movie by accident and right off the bat, we thought that we were in for a good time. The music swelled and the mood was set for a scary movie. Unfortunately, we were so put off by the thought of sleeping with each others' father that we were slightly disturbed and nothing happened to keep up the scary pretenses. The plot seemed to take unnecessary twists at the end and the 'steamy love scenes' weren't as much steamy as ridiculous. The lead actors and actresses do a good job at holding up the absurd plot line, but the supporting actors need to pull their own weight as well. This is a good movie if you want to laugh your butt off at the dialogue and plot, but if you are looking for a 'thriller' you need to avoid this film, for it will not fulfill your requirements whatsoever: the only thrills in this movie are sexual ones, and even they aren't that thrilling, just sick and twisted.

Sorry, but I found this TV movie obvious and rather slow moving. It was directed by Chuck Bowman and written by Nevin Schreiner from a story by Schreiner and Monica Parker. Unfortunately, the detours were pretty obvious. As to who murdered Charlotte Ross, the only rewarding performance in the film, who was a college room mate to Deedee Pfeiffer, who looked older than her mother. Her makeup was soooo extreme, that I felt she belonged on the street somewhere. Does her mom and dad let her walk around looking like a paid model escort? I know she's sister to Michelle, but far from able to pull off a college student in this movie. As the character, you wanted her to mind her own business. Always poking around. She's determined to have her father hung. And when we get to the end of this melodrama, she suddenly has this hysterical crying scene, when she did everything she could to make it happen. Go figure. Charles Shaughnessy, yes from THE NANNY, does what he can in a one level role. He has a moment or two, but not too many. Keerie Keane, mother and wife of Pfeiffer and Shaughnessy, also does her best with what she's given. Now they tell me there is a DVD coming out of this movie? You got to be kidding

Viewed this TV show a few times over the years and still enjoy the great talents of Charles Shaughnessy(Tom Deese) "The Nanny" '93 TV Series and Charlotte Ross (Amanda Blake)"NYPDBLUE" '93&'01. It is hard to believe that these two actors were able to play these out of character roles from what we have previously seen them perform in. This is a good signal that they are both great actors. Their sexy, warm and passionate love scenes over powered the entire film, with Tom Deese being married and having a daughter about the same age as Amanda Blake. It is no wonder that Tom Deese decided to cool off in the ocean and calm down! Great TV show, sit back and enjoy a great murder plot.
