    Touched by a horrible actress!!!!

    This was a horrible movie from start to finish.I wish I could get back the two hours i wasted watching this movie.I sat there hoping that it would get better , but it never did. I found myself dozing off at times. I've always like Paula Abdul as an entertainer, but she really sucks as an actress. Paula Abdul as a rape victim is as believable as aliens from outer space. This movie was so predictable. It was almost funny. The really insane part was the writers tried to turn it into a love story. The saving grace for this movie was Adrian Pasdar. I really enjoyed his performance. Take it from me , if you cherish your time please, please avoid this movie. I still can't believe that I sat through the entire movie.

    Touched by Paula

    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.

    HORRIBLE

    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

    I'm sorry... this movie is LAME!

    I just watched this movie tonight; I guess it was re-run from its original showtime in 1997. All I have to say is dang... this was one SORRY TV movie. I mean I love Paula Abdul but this movie is far from a success and possibly one of the WORST made for TV films I have seen.

    It leaves time for no character development and I mean immediately after the rape you know who the rapist is; there is NO ONE else (except at the end) that you would think is the rapist. The whole movie is centered around the main character Ellen (played by Abdul) trying to overcome being raped and she finds this guy (puh-leese) who she ends up suspecting isn't all that he says he is.

    I found this movie to be very predictable and at the end when the true rapist is shown I had to laugh out loud because it was SOOOO corny!

    Bottom line: if you're bored, have nothing else to do and this movie comes on TV by all means watch it and waste 2 hours of your life. Otherwise, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

    It was an okay attempt by Ms. Abdul to get into acting but this movie falls short of success (way short).

    Out of a possible score of 10, I give this movie a 4 :(

      Ellen: What happened?

      Det. Duvall: Burglary... she lost a lot of jewelry. Not to mention the house trashed, the cat eviscerated.
