La onzième victime

First of all Jennie Garth is dreadful as a prosecuting attorney. Her tight dresses, overly made up for a blonde (is she really blonde or a dyed job?) A scene when she wakes up in bed in middle of the night and loaded with make up. Can you imagine what her pillow must look like in reality? Garth is not an actress of any depth and hard to believe she is any threat to the escaped rapist/killer. Colin Cunningham as the killer does much better. He's wonderful in this and needs a stronger actress opposite him. I give this a 1 for Cunningham.

The courtroom scene was out of reality also. With the exception of the defense attorney, it seemed phony and forced. I loved it when he took her down in the court. It was gratifying to this viewer to see her get her up pence.

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.

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.

Jenny Garth is a terrible actress, have never liked her in anything she's been in and she twitches her mouth a lot! It amazes me that she keeps getting parts! Are the directors deaf and blind? So many things wrong with this movie besides the bad acting, except David Lewis was very good! I don't think detectives do the things these ones did and no lawyer would do the stupid things Garth did---like send her office assistant off to the police station knowing she was meeting up with the killer! Wouldn't she keep her safe with her and have the police come to them!! I found myself yelling at the TV and shaking my head with the stupidity of everyone! Do yourself a favour, turn it off immediately.

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!
