Touched by Evil

Yeah this movie is not very good. I never leaves anyone guessing and it is very weak. I would have expected Paula Abdul to choose a better screenplay for her first major dramatic work. Abdul is ok in this movie but she is much better at comedy vs drama. Her performances on sitcoms like; The Single Guy, Cybil, Wayan Brothers and Sabrina, were all very funny and very good. So if you want to see Abdul at the top of her game, check out those sitcoms in re runs or buy her music videos and concerts, dont watch this movie!

UGH. This is a true story, but the script was HORRIBLE. I thought Paul Abdul (who I normally think is not horrible) was embarrassing to watch. The fact that Susan Rattan who is a brilliant actress couldn't do anything with the horrible lines she was given should say something.

Right away I knew who the rapist was and it was completely unrealistic how easily she got him to leave at the end. This could have been a really great "Ripped from the headline's" type movie, but whoever wrote this should never be allowed to hold pen, pencil or be allowed near any writing implement EVER AGAIN.

BLAH BAD BAD BAD

Here comes Paula Abdul (who should stick to singing) in her movie debut. The whole movie is centered around her and her boyfriend. Were there any other characters in this cheesefest? I knew from the beginning who the rapist was. There wasn't any other people who it could be, unless you took someone who hadn't been introduced until the end. What a worthless movie. To sum it up, avoid at all costs. A real loser.

Movie was pretty good. If you're into cheesy movies where you have to put all the clues together and solve it then this is a good movie for you. Paula Abdul plays a girl who gets raped by someone she can't see but just remembers a gross smell. She becomes untrusting of everyone and finally meets a guy in a laundromat that she can trust. They become close and by talking to him helps her realize who the rapist could possibly be Paula Abdul was pretty good in it,I don't think it takes a genius to be in a Lifetime movie. I say watch it and you'll like it, not to mention the cool 80's song that keeps getting left over and over on her answering machine.

I watched and recorded this movie when it first aired, just because Paula Abdul was in it. But I actually like it. It's obvious who the rapist is immediately, and Paula has some of the stupidest lines, but I liked this movie. It just has something that makes you want to watch it and see what happens at the end, even though you know it's coming. But mainly for Paula fans. She did better than people would suspect. The ending won't shock you. The plot in general won't shock you. But it's still a good TV movie in it's own right. I could definitely see Paula going on to better acting roles. "Touched By Evil" was #3 in it's timeslot when it first aired, so obviously people enjoyed it enough to finish it to the end.
