La dolce ossessione di Debbie

This movie came a bit too close to trying to be a softcore porno, but it worked. The acting was good, the story was good. I didn't see the first movie with Rose McGowan (though I plan to) or the one that was made in the 80's. I guess they're all the same story, but it would be fun to compare. Not a bad movie at all. From the opening credits, you can tell it's not a blockbuster... some of the best movies are like that.

I saw "Teacher's Pet" late one night at my apartment when I woke up and HBO was on. Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, I thought, was great as the psychopathic and seductive Debbie. This movie was full of surprises and pretty crazy stuff. This movie is as scary as it is sexy.

It may not be as popular as the teen/college age horror movies being spawned today but it deserves to be watched.

As much as I hate to admit it, I could not stop watching this movie. I was channel surfing and caught a glimpse of beautiful Nick Corri and I was hooked. The acting was average, but the script really didn't call for much more than that. Let's face it. This film is a predictable, psycho-chick thing that's been done to death. If you like beautiful people, it should be satisfying enough, however. Jodi is a strikingly beautiful girl. Devil.. may be just a stepping stone for her. She acted well enough that I sympathized with her character despite the fact that she was evil and psychotic. I liked her better than the bland blonde that was the teacher's girlfriend. All in all, I give it a "6" on a scale of 1 to 10.

Okay, honestly, I saw this movie's title, the unknown actors, the plot, and I thought, let's a get a movie to waste a couple of hours and get me a little horny. But what I found was a movie with a half-decent plot (although slightly contrived dialogue) and a super-hot heroine (antagoniste?) who could actually act! When the scripting wasn't so bad that no actor could salvage it, I really found Jodi Lyn O'Keefe to be an engaging actor. She has that spark that translates into the suspension of disbelief, the ability to make us feel for the (if slightly warped) character in the play. In my opinion, this is an overlooked b-movie gem. I'm going to look for more movies by this actor, and I hope she's gone on to bigger and better things.

This is one of those films that is watchable but also forgettable. I have to admit that I was entertained at times but also extremely bored as well. The problem here is that this film is so predictable and it follows the usual US style formula with nice looking characters to look at. **1/2 out of 5
