wow

What an outstanding acting performance. This made me rethink the word sick and evil to genuine mental health issues. If a person believes someone is in need of help, due to behavior, reach out to the proper people. Our children and teens are getting slain. This does not have to be. This last one at a Flordia HS. could of and should have been avoided. Police was called to this killers house 39 times. What happened to the red flags.

Not the event from the song

I don't remember a lot from this movie, it was fairly routine acting and not exceptional, but even I know that the true story (if it even was based on a true story) did not inspire a song. This movie, while good, was NOT based on the song I Don't Like Mondays. The song I Don't Like Mondays was based on Brenda Ann Spencer's 1979 killing of two (a principal and a janitor) at an elementary school in San Diego. In real life, Brenda Ann Spencer was 16 at the time of the killing, unlike the character Valerie portrayed who was old enough to be married. There are several other differences, which a person can view anywhere else on the web first before posting incorrect information.

Valerie is scary in this one!

Valerie Bertinelli does a fantastic acting job in this movie. She is extremely convincing and scary as Laurie Wade !! The movie is very sad of course, because of it being based on the true story of Laurie Wade and her journey to mental illness. I saw this film quite awhile ago on television and although sad, enjoyed Valerie's acting and the movie itself. I've been looking for this film for awhile now and so far, have only seen it available on Ebay, to Great Britain. Hoping to find it on Region one DVD. I would highly recommend it for not only Valerie Bertinelli fans but anyone who is into true crime or can handle the topics that this film deals with. This film is definitely NOT for children so parents please be warned.

Chilling

The most convincing portrayal of someone with mental illness that I have ever seen in the movie. The filming style, music, suspensual-scene progression is so riveting and chilling. The main actress made such a convincing portrayal, it made me uncomfortable to watch some scenes because they were very intense.

Murder of Inocence

I just watched this movie and was amazed at how well Valerie Bertinelli did in this serious portrayal. She was marvelous!

As for the reasoning behind the girl's illness, I got the feeling it was something from her childhood. Perhaps inherited from her mother, who seemed to have a deep seeded strangeness to her!

What I was upset with and confused about, was that nothing came about after her father was taken to her apartment and saw what condition it was in. It was definitely the work of someone who was quite unstable and possible dangerous! If that place wasn't a red flag for help I don't know what was!!
