Il volto confuso dell'assassino

It's one of the movies you've never heard about, it is quite an unknown movie and was made for TV movie. Almost no one reviewed this movie, but I will give a review now.

I noticed that it's available on HBO Max (from my country, at least), watched it and I enjoyed it. What's it about? In the opening scene, a mother and his son were brutally murdered by the killer. The daughter came to the house at the moment and saw the killer killing them on the bed, but she successfully ran away from the killer. Six years later, we reveal that the daughter has amnesia, she refuses to remember her past. The killer still has his own plan to kill her.

I like it from beginning to end. I liked the quality, atmosphere, lighting, and the '90s stuff that made it feel comfortable. It sometimes felt a bit unrealistic, but the twist at the end is quite great. The leading actress did a good job, but I wasn't a huge fan of the actor portraying the killer.

Overall, I think it was a terrific little thriller movie and deserves more attention.

I'd already seen this on French TV a couple of times and was determined to possess the original English-language version - which I found on a DVD purchased from the United States. Unfortunately the film has 2 titles - Undesirable and With a Vengeance - God knows why but that doesn't facilitate searching for a DVD ! This is an excellent story and the actress, Melissa Gilbert is, well.......... cute ! The bad guy in the film by the name of Michael Gross is genuinely FRIGHTENING and suspense is maintained from the beginning till the very end at a constant pace. Also, the very effective and memorable music score background music sends shivers up your spine, and the use of "tinted flashbacks" is very effective. Only one negative point, picture quality, even on the DVD is not up to scratch for 1992. I would certainly recommend this film to any one who likes good suspense films and also for its very beautiful actress ! I was most enthralled by the way that love slowly blossoms between Melissa Gilbert and her new-found companion Jack Scalie and his adorable little son who is really cute when he accompanies Gilbert alone on her journey to Portland !

Riveting from start to finish with good twists and turns, just wish I could remember the other name this went under originally, and hope and pray it's on dvd very soon (Lifetime doesn't show these gems any more 😔).

I had never heard of this movie before, but while looking for something to rent at the video store, I saw this on DVD listed as a new release even though it was 9 years old! It sounded half interesting and I was a Melissa Gilbert fan from LHOTP, so I gave it a shot. It turned out to be a really excellent movie. A happy surprise was that Matthew Lawrence was in it. He is such a cute boy. And he was real good in it. Everyone was. Even Michael Gross who I don't like. Far cry from Family Ties! Out of 10 I give this movie a 10. It had a lot of great stuff about it and I don't think there was anything I didn't like in it. So if you happen to find this little unknown hidden movie, give it a try! It's also called Undesirable =) At least in Canada. Bye!

This made for TV movie stars Melissa Gilbert and a very young Matthew Lawrence along with the father from family ties in a very different role as a father with a different twist. The music is haunting and atmospheric and I have found this enjoyable on numerous occasions. the main character Janet begins work as a nanny for Matthew Lawrence's character who has problems but she has her own demons to deal with. I particularly enjoy watching the relationship develop between Janet and the young boy and between herself and his father Mike. with his support she can begin to rebuild her own life and the jigsaw of her life. The suspense is kept up right until the end. I have never tired of watching this film which was shown on TV a number of years ago.
