Blake Michael late of the Disney Channel stars in this film which is about as far from the Magic Kingdom as you can get. He's a law student and having a tough time of it. The fact he's also psychotic doesn't help.
Professor Alicia Leigh Willis is flunking him in her ethics course and he can't have it. He's under some great pressure from his mom and stepdad. So Blake embarks on a campaign of terror dredging up her past. She's now teaching law because back in the day she prosecuted a man who was executed and later turned out to be innocent.
What can I say but this is trashy and cheap without any entertainment value. The goofy teen from Dog With A Blog doesn't quite cut it as a psycho.
I expected Stan the talking dog to come in and straighten everything out.
