Monmie Dearest's got a brand new face for a 1970s TV movie.

Faye Dunaway has the tightest facelift I've ever seen in Hollywood. She sports it earlier in the year in Handmaid's Tale. It is very distracting.

This film is completely predictable. It is basically a rehash of many 1970s small town TV movies with corrupt law enforcement and visitors being trapped in town.

Faye Dumaway was co producer. It is obvious this was a cheap quickie to get her TV exposure and to make some quick bucks.

A sad later career effort by a 1970s icon and Academy Award winner. The film doesn't even have camp value.

The biggest name in this entire movie has got to be Faye Dunaway, and I do not even know of very many movies that she has been in. The acting is pretty mediocre and the story is typical. The whole thing is very predictable, but I still found SILHOUETTE to be a pretty good movie. When I came on here and found out that this was a TV movie, it just made me think that this movie was even better.

If you are easily scared, then see this, it won't scare you a bit. There are some slow and dull moments of this film that make you want to shut it off, but if you just wait, you will be glad that you did, because in a way, it turns out to be worth it. This movie is for fans of serious thrillers, or people who think that crap TV movies are masterpieces. So, yeah, this movie is really not for everyone.

SILHOUETTE gets 4/5.

This 1990 made for TV thriller was far above the usual TV presentations. Notably because of the presence of Faye Dunaway in the leading role. She also was co-producer as well. Directed very well by Carl Schenkel, it brings suspense and surprises all through the film. Most of the cast are unknown to me save David Rasche who plays the Sheriff of a small town where a murder is committed. Miss Dunaway sees the silhouette of the murderer. From then on it's a chase as to see who the real murderer is and if Miss Dunaway survives.

Faye Dunaway has always produced interesting performances, some mediocre and some excellent. Who can forget her Joan Crawford role in MOMMIE DEAREST, or BONNIE AND CLYDE, CHINATOWN, NETWORK and my favorite EYES OF LAURA MARS. All excellent performances in an already terrific body of work. And this lady is still going. What a career.

David Rasche too brings a very good performance to focus in this film. I liked the young deputy but he's not given credit as to his character he's playing in IMDb. Anyway wanted to mention his gallant performance and good looks. Maybe someone can tell me his name. Some of this is quite violent so be warned.

I wasn't actually paying much attention to this film as the beginning, when she witnesses the murder, bored me a bit. The only part I had been waiting for was Glenn Quinn's role as Darren, the sheriff's son, and his scene was very short. I thought this film was actually quite boring and I got easily confused with it, but because of my love for Glenn Quinn I am ashamed to say I would tape it, or maybe even buy it! But if you're not as obsessive as me :) well then I don't think it's worth sitting all the way through. Basically a woman witnesses a murder from her hotel room, then thinks *everyone* (not literally) did it. And the murderer took sometime to actually die, it got boring, it was like 'BANG, BANG' you think he's dead then he's come back. It's very predictable. But that's my thoughts.
