Featured reviews
We were lucky enough to see this film at the Horror Fest in Louisville, Ky this past weekend and it was so much fun to watch. It certainly kept us entertained and how cool is it to watch a movie with the stars themselves right there with everyone. The movie was great and I recommend everyone who gets a chance and likes a good thriller with humor to see it!! I know I will buy it as soon as it is released. The cast was wonderful and I feel honored we were able to share the experience with so many fellow fans of the genre!! This movie was filmed in a very short time frame and rivaled some of the big budget movies playing now. I guess that makes Michael and his wonderful wife brilliant!!
I watched this movie yesterday and it held me and I was always interested in where it was going.
Why people are giving it one star because they feel some reviews are biased means the whole rating of this movie is incorrect.
Terms like "worst movie I've ever seen" seem ridiculous as it is not. Ghost rider 2 came out and that was my vote for worst recent movie.
some acting was good some was cheesy and cardboard but overall it didn't affect the movie as most was fine. If you are going to pigeon hole it I would say grind house would be a good place to put it. Don't expect Shakespeare.
I would definitely watch another movie like this again but won't watch this movie again as after the first viewing there is nothing to be gained from another viewing.

"I move all the way out here to get away from people, get away from trouble and this crap lands at my doorstep." Annie (Blanc) and her friend Mary (Harris) are out camping with their dates. When things go to far Mary ends up dead and Annie runs for her life. She ends up at the remote cabin of Kyle (Biehn) who wants nothing to do with her. After hearing her story he decides to help her, when he hears another side to it he is not sure who to trust. This is yet again another movie that has no real substance but is fairly entertaining to watch. The acting is pretty bad and the dialog is not impressive but it does keep you watching till the end. There are a few twists but to me this was still predictable. I have seen worse and for a B-rate horror movie this was not the bad. There are some fairly graphic sexual scenes in this but nothing over the top so if that offends you I would avoid this. All that said it did keep me interested for the whole time. Overall, nothing super but a good one time watch. I give it a B-.
Just got done watching the movie and it was awesome!! Very good plot, just enough action to keep you interested. A very enjoyable film. One not to be taken too seriously, but keeps you thinking. Would very much like to see it again when it is released.
The actors did a wonderful job, and for Biehn's directorial debut, he has proved that he can get the job done. Filming a movie in 12 days is phenomenal!
I will be sure to tell everyone about "The Victim" and start planning my "Victim" release party! Can't Wait!! Thanks for allowing us the chance to preview it!

For a thriller, then "The Victim" was as predictable and 'by-the-book' as they come. Everything that happened in the movie, you saw it coming a mile away - well, except for the ending, which I found to be really great, especially as Michael Biehn delivered it so gracefully.
The story in "The Victim" is about Kyle (played by Michael Biehn) who lives isolated as a hermit in a small cottage in the middle of nowhere. Then one night a Annie (played by Jennifer Blanc) comes banging on his door, pleading for help, claiming that she is being followed and that the men killed her friend Mary (played by Danielle Harris). Following that, two officers of the law, James (played by Ryan Honey) and Jonathan (played by Denny Kirkwood) shows up at the cottage to ask Kyle some questions. Something is not adding up here, but what? The acting in the movie was alright, nothing extraordinary or remarkable though. But people did alright with their given characters and roles.
Despite being very predictable, then "The Victim" was actually entertaining and had a nice ending. There was a good and constant pace to the movie, which was alright, and the movie never slowed down and became dull. It was just a shame that the movie suffered horribly from its predictability.
As for the soundtrack to the movie, well personally I didn't find it the least bit interesting or suitable, but of course, we all have very different taste in music. I just found this soundtrack unsuitable and the songs didn't really fit into the mood of the movie.
There are far better thrillers out there on the movie market, but still, "The Victim" is good for a single watching, as it just doesn't have the contents to support more than a single watching.
