Sorelle di sangue

Another boring Canadian movie. But the location is awesome

Okay! I give this one props for a surprising ending. The acting was really bad. The leading character, Samantha, acted like a psycho most of the time. So it isn't surprising that the police viewed her as a prime suspect. But the ending made up for the bad acting.

Samantha Blake (Greer Grammer) and her best friend Kris Roberts arrive at Barclay University. Justin Miller (Steve Bacic) is an english professor and Amy Thomas (Moira Kelly) is the girls' history professor. Kris wants to join a sorority but Sam is not wanted. Four months earlier, sorority girl Tanya Brown went missing. The sorority girls led by Jubilee Swan force Kris to distance herself from Sam. Sam's only friend is her T.A. Victor. When Kris is murdered, police detective Lopez suspects Sam.

I tried to give this a chance. It's a cheap TV movie about sorority murders. I'm grading on a curve here. I try not to have big expectations. The murder mystery is fine at first. Greer is a good lead although Kris should be more ditzy. The initial problem comes from detective Lopez. I don't mind that she's wrong about Sam but she should not tell the suspect about her suspicions. She is a horrendous detective. A good detective would pretend to be on Sam's side while privately investigating her. There is also Kris' murder where the perp is obviously a woman. It does come with a misdirection but it would be better without any directions which would allow for many more suspects. There is also a drugging but it makes little logical sense other than simply contributing to the misdirection. It's pushing too hard at that direction and why would the perp drug Sam only to leave her behind. I gave this every chance but there are too many problems.

Writing Quality/Character Development: This is one of Lifetime's stronger story lines with no dull moments and an interesting plethora of characters that keep you guessing. There is actually quite a bit of character development among many of the characters, which helps push the story forward. Values: Pursuit of truth and justice Content (sex, language, & violence): No sex, mild infrequent language, minimal violence. Scare factor/Suspense: The scare factor is pretty tame as this is more of a mystery with Sam investigating her best friend's murder. The end reveal of the killer turns a little tense, but it is short-lived. Overall, pretty good plot with a strong main character who refuses to let anyone prevent her from uncovering the truth.

The most awful film and terrible acting. Don't bother
