The acting of the the two female victims and the main lead are excruciatingly bad, Are they even American?! Mixed in with some blatant overacting and a bland script this movie is a real turkey. Avoid.

This movie was pretty bad, but not as bad as "Motel Hell" or "Teen Alien". I think this movie's saving grace was Craig Parker. He manages to pull off a decent American accent (for the most part, anyway), which is better than his other Kiwi costars. Bit of trivia: the director is one of the producers on "Mercy Peak".

Although the movie has some over the top performances, plot holes and inconsistencies, it still manages to keep you entertained for 90 minutes. The story is sometimes a bit of a cliche, but that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy the story.

I live near a second-hand shop where you can always find heaps of DVDs for prices between 1 and 2 EUR. Ideal for rediscovering long-forgotten direct-to-video films from the late 1990s and early 2000s.

So I bought No One Can Hear You, a thriller from 2001. Only 10 reviews, the last one over 10 years ago and barely 4.3/10 on IMDB for the moment. A bad movie?

Not at all! I found this early 2000s film really exciting. Well, the story was clearly not very original and the budget was not very big.

The film was sold at the time as Horror of the Slasher type and that will be part of the explanation for the low score: if you are looking for a really dirty, bloody, groomy film, it is better to choose another film. But for those looking for a thrilling Who Done It with a serial killer, you'll get a lot. The acting is good for this type of film, the filmography is solid and the story builds tension well!

Highly recommended for thriller fans to pick up from the second-hand racks!

First one family is murdered than another and both have a teen beauty queen in each family. Sheriff Barry Corbin is looking towards the young male population of his town as potential killers. However radio news reporter Kelly McGillis has her own ideas. She recalls a very similar slasher case in a neighboring town several years ago and tries to interest Corbin. Of course he's rather obtuse. Guess who's right on the subject.

She's got reason for concern as her daughter Kate Elliott was good friends with the other two murdered girls. We're given an interesting trio of suspects. Backpacker Kieran Hutchison, the James Dean wannabe Daniel Gillies, and somewhat nerdy kid Tom Huntington. There's also a really dumb deputy in the mix in Craig Parker.

I never as a rule expect much from these films and I'm not disappointed. The cast goes through the motions and collects their paychecks.

Hey Elliott could have wound up married to the wrong one.
