Just what I expected

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I originally bought the DVD because I'm a big fan of John Wesley Shipp, who played Ray Colton. Once I watched it, I was pleasantly surprised. It turned out I related to the plot, a young woman seeking revenge against relatives she felt did her and her father wrong. The performances of Mr. Shipp and Cynthia Gibb (FAME and SEARCH FOR TOMORROW) were good in that the reactions when they realized that their teenage daughter was right about Christy all along were that of utter shock and disbelief. The girls who played Christy and her cousin were adequate. The blonde girl who was part of Christy's plan came off like a total ditz. Perhaps Paris Hilton could have played the part better.

I pity poor Doctor Colton. He's in the thrall of three of the worst women in the world.Woman Number One: Christie, his psychotic b***h of a niece who blames her uncle for the suicide of her loser father. Seems Dr. Colton didn't loan the poor sap any more money after he gambled away the first thirty-thousand.Woman Number Two: Christie's friend Selene, an ugly young woman inside and out, hoping to make a buck or two off the poor doctor but ending up with a tire iron protruding from her thick skull.Woman Number Three: His daughter Haley, a really obnoxious brat that uses her eavesdropping capabilities to help save her dad from certain death, a death probably more preferable than having to listen to her mouth the rest of his life!Add this to Canadian producer Pierre David's highly enjoyable series of evil woman thrillers like The Landlady, The Nurse, Maid of Honor, The Perfect Neighbor, and Night Caller.Christie's Revenge doesn't start off as well as I'd like but I warmed up to it after a bit. This movie, like the others, really knows how to push buttons.

Well thought out. Interest sustaining story. Christie(Danielle Kind)is almost twenty and has led a very miserable life. Three years after her parent's divorce, her father committed suicide; but Christine is easy to blame her Uncle Ray(John Wesley Shipp)for his despondence. The vengeful Christie comes up with a diabolical plan to get even with her Uncle and puts a meticulous plan in motion. She moves in with Ray and his wife Miranda(Cynthia Gibb)and their daughter(Annie Boviard). Christie will employee a willing accomplice Selene(Anastasia Phillips)to turn her Uncle Ray's life upside down and inside out. She is hellbent on avenging her father's death.

Christie is a young college student who suffers from the loss of her father who committed suicide, so Christie holds her uncle responsible and plans to take her revenge.the film has a very basic plot outline, so you can pretty much predict how it all ends, but at least its great entertainment, the acting is good but some character reactions are not very convincing at times, their expressions tend to look a little wooden, although other cast members pull of their roles quite nicelyOverall, its good for those days when you have nothing to do, but do give it a try, and despite the miner flaws it will keep you entertained from start to finish.
