I alternately burst out laughing and wanted to physically assault my television during this movie. Conveniently stupid victims, incompetent police, and even more incompetent criminals made for absurd situations created by actions no marginally reasonable human being would ever take. If it was just one or two such stupid actions, I could overlook it; but really, this movie just stacks one insulting plot convenience upon another. Incompetent police allow murder suspect to see both eye witnesses inside the police station, but the teen witness's incompetent mother doesn't move to hide her daughter's face from the killer. Oh no--she turns her own face away and leaves her daughter unobstructed so the killer can get a good look at her. Stupid cops leave witness and mother at their own residence after the killer's goons have already threatened them there (with a note made of pasted magazine letters tied to a rock--seriously). Stupid cop guarding house is lured away from the house with a bogus "officer down" call that only Wile E. Coyote would fall for. On and on, the parade of pain never ends. I am forced by my better half to watch these cartoonish movies on Lifetime Movie Network all the time, but this one is probably the worst I've seen in recent memory. It's too bad that Mystery Science Theater 3000 isn't still in production, because this movie was made for it.
