Étudiante en danger

2 best friends go to college one pledges the other doesn't. The one who pledges ends up dead. There are lots of suspects - the casual boyfriend, the evil sorority sisters, the lecherous professor or his jealous wife (Moira Kelly). It's moderately diverting to the suspicion point to one then the other suspect. The heroine is played by Greer Grammar and she is is quite pretty and sweet. The daughter of Kelsey but don't confuse her with her sister Spencer - they are quite different looking.

At least it's not one of those slasher type shows. More of a who dunnit.

Samantha Blake (Greer Grammer) and her best friend Kris Roberts arrive at Barclay University. Justin Miller (Steve Bacic) is an english professor and Amy Thomas (Moira Kelly) is the girls' history professor. Kris wants to join a sorority but Sam is not wanted. Four months earlier, sorority girl Tanya Brown went missing. The sorority girls led by Jubilee Swan force Kris to distance herself from Sam. Sam's only friend is her T.A. Victor. When Kris is murdered, police detective Lopez suspects Sam.

I tried to give this a chance. It's a cheap TV movie about sorority murders. I'm grading on a curve here. I try not to have big expectations. The murder mystery is fine at first. Greer is a good lead although Kris should be more ditzy. The initial problem comes from detective Lopez. I don't mind that she's wrong about Sam but she should not tell the suspect about her suspicions. She is a horrendous detective. A good detective would pretend to be on Sam's side while privately investigating her. There is also Kris' murder where the perp is obviously a woman. It does come with a misdirection but it would be better without any directions which would allow for many more suspects. There is also a drugging but it makes little logical sense other than simply contributing to the misdirection. It's pushing too hard at that direction and why would the perp drug Sam only to leave her behind. I gave this every chance but there are too many problems.

When reviewing LMN movies I tend to use the word formulaic a lot. I'm debating writing a software program that could generate plots en masse. :)

So yes, this follows a standard LMN formula but it does manage to make things somewhat interesting so I'll give it a 7.

I'm usually easy on LMN actors because, well it's LMN. But this one was noticeably worse than than average. Chloe Babcock (Jubilee) was oddly robotic. The professor couple was sub-par.

And then there was Greer Grammar. I'm harsh on Actors who obviously got their chances because of their parents (Kelsey Grammar in this case). Greer is definitely not ready for prime time. I don't see her getting very far in the industry. BTW, why would you go by the odd middle name of Greer instead of her formal first name - Kandace?

Unbelievably embarrassing "movie" from a director who can't direct, a writer who can't write, and actors who can't act; filled with eye-rolling conveniences, an overly predictable "mystery", & extras laughably trying to act. #nitrosMovieChallenge.

The most awful film and terrible acting. Don't bother
