A Killer Among Friends

This is certainly one of the best made for TV crime films I've watched recently.

The storytelling is great and the acting is fantastic especially, from the main leads Patty Duke and Margaret Welsh.

Both ladies did an excellent job portraying their characters. Patty made you feel the hurt, pain and anger that Irene Avila must have gone through when she lost her daughter as her character Joan in the movie. Equally, Margaret did a brilliant job at portraying the envious, manipulative and ultimately murderous Karen Severson as the character Ellen.

I'd definitely recommend watching this film especially, if you like crime films based of true cases.

A Killer Among Friends. The very title creeps me out. I personally enjoyed this movie. But, I agree, Ellen was very twisted. Jenny hadn't done anything wrong. She didn't deserve to die. Ellen should have hanged. I have a question for anybody who's seen it. There was a character by the name of Susan.......where do we see Susan?

A TV movie to watch! "A Killer Among Friends" is very dramatic and moving. It aired on t.v. as a "thriller" so I decided to give it a try and I got caught by it since the beginning.

Tiffany Thiessen leads the young cast and let me say that she looks super hot and teases the audience with her beautiful legs and tight clothes; that's why her not so pretty friends were jealous about her.

The rest of the cast is very good specially Patty Duke that gives a powerful performance as a mother living the worst nightmare.

The killer (s) is someone you don't expect at the beginning but later in the movie it's a prime suspect.

A good movie not to be missed.

Jenny Monroe gets murdered by her best friends Ellen Holloway and Carla Lewis. Kathy Pearl was the only one who knew it was them who killed Jenny. Ellen told her to keep her mouth shut. She grabbed a knife and left a cut on Kathy's face. The one day down in the woods Ellen and Carla faked a fight. Thats when it all went wrong. When Jenny tried to stop it, Ellen and Carla said "we don't hate each other, it's you we hate". They started pummeling on Jenny. They said "let's take a walk". The trail leaded to a creek. Thats where it all began. Carla pushed Jenny. Ellen cut Jenny's long brown hair. They both started Tring to kill Jenny. Then Carla tried to grab a log to drown Jenny but it was too heavy. Ellen Tried to help Carla lift the log. Once they got it they put it over Jenny and then she died.

This is one of the few times a true story is nearly made unbelievable by the idiotic cast of characters. Fortunately, the presence of Patty Duke holds it together somewhat, although for most of the movie, she's as bad as everyone else. It seems that everyone in the world is completely blind to the fact that the real killer is the loon that they've decided is their friend... they miss things like "Jenny told her in a dream," and "You need to go kill him, he did it. And bring me a finger to prove he's dead." Of course, she's not going to just join the lynch mob/family... she's apparently going to wait at home. If you want to know the story, which is tragic, but interesting, read the book... don't waste your time on this movie unless you've nothing else to do and you're snowed in.
