Vom Bösen berührt - Der Schänder hinter der Maske

I watched and recorded this movie when it first aired, just because Paula Abdul was in it. But I actually like it. It's obvious who the rapist is immediately, and Paula has some of the stupidest lines, but I liked this movie. It just has something that makes you want to watch it and see what happens at the end, even though you know it's coming. But mainly for Paula fans. She did better than people would suspect. The ending won't shock you. The plot in general won't shock you. But it's still a good TV movie in it's own right. I could definitely see Paula going on to better acting roles. "Touched By Evil" was #3 in it's timeslot when it first aired, so obviously people enjoyed it enough to finish it to the end.

Touched By Evil is so awesome!! Paula Abdul is so awesome! This is like one of the best movies ever! I love Paula so much and i think she did a fantastic job! *high five* GO PAULA!! This movie kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time!! I think it was a fantastic story plot and Paula did a great job at acting!! Paula should be in more movies.. shes such a great actress! This movie is awesome I think every one should see it! You could watch this movie over and over again and never get bored.. everyone should see it! GO PAULA YOU WERE TOTALLY AWESOME AND THIS MOVIE IS LIKE THE GREATEST!!

Movie was pretty good. If you're into cheesy movies where you have to put all the clues together and solve it then this is a good movie for you. Paula Abdul plays a girl who gets raped by someone she can't see but just remembers a gross smell. She becomes untrusting of everyone and finally meets a guy in a laundromat that she can trust. They become close and by talking to him helps her realize who the rapist could possibly be Paula Abdul was pretty good in it,I don't think it takes a genius to be in a Lifetime movie. I say watch it and you'll like it, not to mention the cool 80's song that keeps getting left over and over on her answering machine.

I just watched this movie tonight; I guess it was re-run from its original showtime in 1997. All I have to say is dang... this was one SORRY TV movie. I mean I love Paula Abdul but this movie is far from a success and possibly one of the WORST made for TV films I have seen.

It leaves time for no character development and I mean immediately after the rape you know who the rapist is; there is NO ONE else (except at the end) that you would think is the rapist. The whole movie is centered around the main character Ellen (played by Abdul) trying to overcome being raped and she finds this guy (puh-leese) who she ends up suspecting isn't all that he says he is.

I found this movie to be very predictable and at the end when the true rapist is shown I had to laugh out loud because it was SOOOO corny!

Bottom line: if you're bored, have nothing else to do and this movie comes on TV by all means watch it and waste 2 hours of your life. Otherwise, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

It was an okay attempt by Ms. Abdul to get into acting but this movie falls short of success (way short).

Out of a possible score of 10, I give this movie a 4 :(

This was a horrible movie from start to finish.I wish I could get back the two hours i wasted watching this movie.I sat there hoping that it would get better , but it never did. I found myself dozing off at times. I've always like Paula Abdul as an entertainer, but she really sucks as an actress. Paula Abdul as a rape victim is as believable as aliens from outer space. This movie was so predictable. It was almost funny. The really insane part was the writers tried to turn it into a love story. The saving grace for this movie was Adrian Pasdar. I really enjoyed his performance. Take it from me , if you cherish your time please, please avoid this movie. I still can't believe that I sat through the entire movie.
