La onzième victime

Thinking about it, I don't know why I gave this three stars - it barely deserved one!

It was truly the worst of the worst Lifetime or LMN movies ever made. That's saying a lot, because a whole lot of them are pretty bad. I watched for about 50 minutes and then decided this was only going downhill, with no hope of redemption, so I gave up on it.

I didn't watch 90210, so I am not familiar with Jennie Garth, but if this performance is indicative of the quality of her acting she definitely needs to find a job that's a better match to her skills. Acting certainly isn't one of them!

I also don't watch Nancy Grace much, but if this story is indicative of her writing skill, and it appears to be, well...Nancy, give up writing, right now cause it's absolutely not working for you!

So much of this was so pathetic and nonsensical. One of the more ridiculous things was when Jennie asked the the detective about his leads. He said they had been considering several different leads. She then became overly defensive and accused him of accusing her of being the murderer (which he very certainly had not)! Of course, she shamelessly overacted.

This one was so much worse than the customary Lifetime stinker - it was so amazingly bad that I will never again watch any Lifetime movie.

In my experience, out of 10 movies run on Lifetime and/or Lifetime Movie Network, 2 may be halfway decent, 4 may be pretty bad, 2 may be really, really bad and 2, like this one, are truly an amazing and disrespectful insult to viewers!

I suggest they start showing an on-screen, prior to showing movies: "Warning! This is unsuitable for anyone with an I.Q. exceeding 55."

Ba-bye Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network!

Even worse than the movie is knowing I actually watched the whole thing. Now I'm kicking myself for having wasted so much time on this limp excuse for a movie.

Hailey was so bad as a victim. She makes poor choices right after another. Was acting all high and mighty . Like she could handle the killer. She endangered her assistant. Sent her out to go to the police station. No! Lock the doors and call detective together with 911 on the line and she had a gun. But no she did not even show the assistant who he really was. Sent her out knowing the killer was out there to kill her assistant. Poor writing.

The system did not notify her of the guys release and no longer death penalty. After he tried to kill her in the court room. Come On!!! Then she acts all cocky with the defense attorney his accomplice.

The guy Cruise gets released until next hearing in CA . Goes to NY and lives in an abandoned warehouse. He fled the state and no APB. A serial killer loose. Good grief !! Poor writing.

Garth is a powerhouse! Stellar performance, really flexing her dramatic muscles here!

The writing lacked a certain something..but given what she had to work with, Garth's performance made the film worth watching...Good supporting cast...The character arc felt a bit disjointed...can we please get this girl some better pages!!!! I feel like this storyline has been done...pun intended...to death. Having said that...on the other hand...if done correctly and interestingly enough...you can pull something like this off for a win...for me it was Garth's abilities that saved the day...in the end. Jennie Shrugged!

Forgive me but it was very late and I could not sleep so I stayed up for The Eleventh Victim (which I had taped earlier) and the story line was the most ridiculous and not plausible from the opening scene to the very end. This is supposed to be a suspense film surrounding a serial killer named Clint Burrel Cruise (played by Colin Cunnigham) who captures his female victims, strangles them and then poses their dead bodies in a certain position so that he can paint them on canvas and imitate famous artists by striking a similar pose as the renowned artists works of art.

There is dramatic opera style music throughout the film which was intended to keep the audience in suspense but all it did for me was indicate when something boring and predictable would happen. Of course there is a brilliant and beautiful prosecuting attorney named Hailey Dean (played by Jenny Garth) who puts this serial killer in prison awaiting his death sentence but as the writers of this mess of a made for TV movie would have it the serial killer Cruise is released for a retrial and is free to continue on his murderous ways. There is an ever so slight comparison to the 1986 film Manhunter where the serial killer gets naked down to his skivvies to paint his own body on the canvas just to show how creepy he is but please gag me with a spoon it is by no means suspenseful.

This movie is as predictable as ordering hot buttered popcorn and doing a blind taste test. Who wouldn't know what that taste was? Well in this film, everyone can figure out what is going to happen next. The twist at the end of the film? Gag me with a spoon the second time please.

Don't waste any time on this serial killer film. Instead put a blind fold around your head and try doing the hot buttered popcorn taste test. I assure you that you will have a better time than watching this crap.

My rating is a 1 out of 10. It's a total waste of time.
