Fresh and Exciting
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Plot: Girl needs money, so she kills traveler and assume her identity. She works her way into rich roommate's father's affections. Roommate finds her out and tries to warn father--almost too late. Themes: Maybe someone you know is not who they say they are; maybe you are sitting next to a serial killer, and you are their next target. Artists, in general are nuts. Men are clueless when it comes to weeding out serial killers from their dating calendar. Men who date women who are much younger than themselves become stupid from erotic love, and the women they pursue are gold diggers. Structure: great acting and writing. Critique: not as scary as a 10 like Psycho, but more likely and, therefore, scarier in a way.
Tracey Gold makes for a good psycho by killing people and stealing their identities. She does a good job of fooling people into thinking shes a sweetheart, well except for the people she killed, but they are dead so who cares right? then she seduces her roommates dad, first by unbuttoning her blouse, painting his picture and cutting off his ponytail. the dad wasn't hot or anything, but he was loaded and the roommate was mad. she was all leave my dad alone. wah wah wah really for a movie this unrealistic , it was quite an enjoyable story. the moral of the story is : If you kill a violin student and steal her idenity, make sure you play the violin. And when you keep her body in a suitcase make sure to bring some lysol.....
I absolutely adore Tracy Gold And have seen many of her movies. This movie is one I've seen several times and it is one of the more creepy television movies and is one which is genuinely creepy no matter how many times you view it. Tracy Gold, in my opinion is not just a good actress, she's great-and seeing this sweet actress portray the Sweetly Endearing but deadly young woman who kills anyone who gets in her way, is eerie indeed. Tracey Gold will scare the heck out of you in this role. I would recommend this movie for those who like these type of TV thriller movies. This movie is about as creepy as you get and the whole movie is very well acted and frightening, if a bit intense in certain places.SPOILER: I didn't care for the ending(last 10 seconds) but it didn't particularly surprise me either. Although this is not one of my favorite movies, it is pretty creepy and thriller purists will no doubt love it.
Tracey Gold,(Darcy Palmer),"A Crime of Passion,TV",'99, showed her great acting abilities and was able to have the audience actually hate her for this role in which she plays a very BAD BAD GIRL! The real star of the film is Shawnee Smith,(Jeanelle Polk),"Never Get Outta the Boat",'02, who plays a very rich boring and depressing rich girl who has everything and a dad who lives in a home like the White House! Perry King,(Russell Polk),"Her Married Lover",'99, plays the role as a depressed man who lost his wife and at the same time loves his daughter Jeanelle who becomes friends with Darcy. Don Harvey(Quinn Harris),"She Hate Me",'04, plays a mean bad guy who has great interest in Darcy Palmer. All the actors gave great performances and made this TV film very entertaining.
