Revenge Porn (2016 TV Movie)
5/10
Lurid Selfie
14 July 2016
Later claiming she was contemplating having her "boobs done," pretty 18-year-old Tiera Skovbye (as Peyton Harris) takes some shirtless selfies. Nobody notices a glaring error, or lie; the photos would have no relevance to a breast-enhancing surgeon. What we really see is the young actress modeling her panties. She is generously displayed and the skimpy panties draw your eyes away from anything else. Probably, the camera did not show her topless, but you will have to replay while trying not to look down. From the "Revenge Porn" title, we know those photographs are going viral. Before you can say, "Jack Robinson," the ditty pictures are splashed all over the Internet. Of course, Ms. Skovbye's entire high school is posting about them. Even worse, the pictures are sent to Skovbye's proud parents Elisabeth Rohm and David Lewis (as Elaine and David Harris), along with everyone on their email contact lists...

Skovbye's good grades, "Dumforth" college scholarship and general sanity are threatened. Recovering from her shock, mother Rohm takes charge of the fight to save her daughter's sleazy reputation and catch the crook responsible for housing the sexy selfies...

This timely topic is so timely it was very recently seen as "Break-Up Nightmare" (2016), which isn't the first time a dirty pictures plot reared its naughty head. "Revenge Porn" takes two paths, which differs from the aforementioned movie. One has been used frequently, elsewhere, and another is less unoriginal. The latter is more interesting, but develops without much mystery or suspense. This angle is where director Monika Mitchell and writer Kendall Clark score some points, with an engrossing drone scene and a sufficiently menacing Levi Meaden (as Carl Cooke). Alas, his character is borderline silly. Best female friend Jodelle Ferland (as Audrey) does her best in a far too predictable role. It's all so routine, but Ms. Mitchell and her crew do move it along and keep raising attention. Their scenes get to the point and waste no time, making them add up to more than they're worth. The sexy photos pop up often.
