Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
maxm-14863 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.
MarieGabrielle you may be able to watch the entire movie throughout, without questioning the storyline. I do like her in most performances, so stuck it out.The one problem is Perry king, not sure what age he was at the time of this film (indeed, he seems ageless since 1985). At any rate, if the sociopath Gold character had pursued him, and he was, a bit younger and more handsome, it may have been believable.Basically Gold portrays an artist, who gets what she wants at any cost. She changes identity with a college student, befriend her wealthy roommate (Shawnee Smith) and eventually sets her sights on her roommate's father (King).The film has some nice winter sets in New England, but the storyline a bit hard to swallow. Tracey Gold gives a decent performance. 6/10.
triple8 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.
whpratt1 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.
