A Killer Among Friends

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?

Ellen Holloway and Carla Lewis killed Jennifer Anne Monroe because they were extremely jealous. Jenny was popular with the boys and Ellen and Carla were not and that was the whole motive for murdering her. They didn't want her around anymore. So they hatched a sophisticated plan to eliminate their competition forever. On the day of the murder, Carla made arrangements to pick up Jenny on Saturday on the pretense of hanging out at the park. Jenny had no idea she was in danger. She and Carla drove into the woods where they met up with Ellen and Kathy. That's when Ellen triggered the rest of the plan staging a fake fight with Carla to throw Jenny off-guard. So Jenny got out of the car to break up the fight but then, Ellen and Carla dropped the charade and turned on Jenny. They harbored a lot of rage for her. So made her go into the trail area leading to the creek. They beat her up. Ellen and Carla were hitting and torturing and cutting Jenny's hair. Kathy Pearl who was brought along for the murder did nothing except run back to the car because she wanted none of the violence. Ellen and Carla intensified their assault. They pushed her down underwater. Ellen held Jenny's feet and Carla held her down until the bubbles stopped and then both of them placed a log on Jenny's head to finish the job. Ellen rushed off to a family gathering inwardly celebrating the elimination of her thinner and prettier rival and Carla went home to call Jenny's mother, Jean pretending to be worried concocting the phony story about the guys in the red monte carlo. Kathy was sworn to secrecy or suffer the consequences.

This one of the most disturbing TV Movies I have ever watched. Ellen is a completely disturbing psychopath and you might get scared to watch her. When the truth comes out about Jenny's murder, you aren't going to be shocked about who did it (you know from the second it happens), but you will be shocked about how it was done. A horrible scene to watch was Jenny's death scene. It was a shame because this girl (Jenny) did nothing wrong and these girls' reasons for killing her were complete misunderstandings about what they thought they saw.

you can get past Loretta Swit trying to act as an intelligent police detective, with a brunette wig.

Tiffani Amber-Thiessen is the victim and Patty Duke is her over-protective mother. This film is similar to "Bully" in that it shows the inhuman treatment some students project one each other, sometimes for no reason at all, other than jealousy. This film was loosely based on a true story.

The problem with some TV movies like this is they use someone with a too high TV Q/persona (Swit) and it takes away from the substance of the story. 5/10

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.
