Manual para um Assassinato

Ashley (played by Rae DeRosa) is a creative writing graduate working on her first novel, which will also serve as her thesis. Her mentor calls her in and reveals that the celebrity writer, Miles Blake, will teach campus classes. He asks Ashley to be his teaching assistant. Ashley, a passionate fan of Miles, is thrilled at the chance to work with him and help a group of crime writers to embark on a quest to discover the perfect murderous plot for the course. However, she is also headstrong and sees this experience as a way to improve her own writing and develop her novel.

A few murders occur - a woman gets kidnapped and drowned ... another one will soon follow ... Ashley suspects it's David who is a huge fan of Miles Blake and becomes angry when Ashley is assigned as his teaching assistant instead of him. He's quite one creepy dude.

I didn't think this would be good but it was well-acted, features some tense moments in the forest and the killer really goes over the edge. It's formulaic but quite captivating and entertaining.

The genre is thriller and I wasn't thrilled. Ashley is a graduate student who has been asked to assist Miles Blake, a famous mystery writer, who is teaching a course at her school and taking a break from his next best seller. Anyway, Miles gives all of his students a creative writing assignment: Plan the perfect murder. Yawn. This trope has been used in the past by Lifetime and a campus student turns up dead. But there are questions about the autopsy. Of course, there are.... but Ashley intends to figure out what happened and why. Uh, oh. As the movie progresses it is quite obvious who the murderer is and frankly, I didn't care because the acting was wooden, the script bad, and the directing horrible! Skip it! I wish I had.

Storyline drags on and as most LMN movies has more commercials than content.
