I watched this movie because I like Brian Krause and thought the plot might be interesting. Boy was I wrong. This movie is populated by the stupidest characters and worst writing of anything I've ever seen on the LMN Channel. Scarlett (aka Cristine Prosperi) suspects her step-father is a murderer, and even sees him with a woman found dead the next morning. Does she tell the police? No, she tells her best friend and asks her to do a background check. The best friend discovers dark secrets. Does the best friend call the police? No, she runs over to the murderer's house so he can kill her. Now the step-daughter has gobs of proof her step-father is both a killer and spy. Does she call the FBI? No, she tells her comic book store friend instead. Finally, as the body count has been growing, the FBI gets called and given all the details that a critical national security breach is in progress. Do they rush over to gather the evidence? No, the FBI tells the step-daughter to go home, where the killer is, and bring the evidence to their office. Meanwhile, the killer kidnaps the mother, step-daughter, and comic book guy, intending to murder all the surviving witnesses. In the end, just as the killer is strangling the daughter, Mom shows up out of nowhere and shoots him. Who would have thought?
I think the actors did the best they could with the material. The direction showed no imagination but wasn't bad. The production values were professional. But the characters in this movie were so brainless and inept that I found myself cheering that Brain Krause's over-the-top evil killer would prevail.
