A Murder to Remember

It may have been a real incident but the movie was absolutely boring. The protagonist over acted and so did her mother. Throughout the you expected a twist but that never came. A straight forward boring movie. The only redeeming feature is the Sheriff who did a relatively good job.

This movie SUCKED! The actress playing Robin-SUCKED and overacted. There's not one good thing I can say about it!!! Totally boring, bad acting, just a total SUCK FEST!!!

The names may have changed and some liberties were taken with the story line but this made for TV film appears to have been based on the real life murder in Mount Hood, Oregon, by 29 year old Thomas Brown who killed 21-year-old Julio Torres and then kidnapped his 16-year-old wife Candra Torres. Thomas Brown after repeatedly raping Candra in the deep woods he convinced her to tell the authorities his murder of her husband Julio Torres was a hunting accident and then the two of them could be a couple after Thomas Brown eliminated her husband Julio. At least that was the murderer Thomas Brown's plan until his rape victim the 16 year old (now) widow Candra Torres changed her false story she initially gave to the police and came clean.

There is a Forensic Files episode in season 9, episode 10, titled "Head Games" which aired in 2004 that depicts this crime in 30 minutes much better than this made for TV film does..

I give this film a ho hum IMDB rating of 5 out of 10

One of very few one-star ratings from me. This is horrifically bad, even by the very low standards of Lifetime movies. Granted, they had a truly awful script to work with (how do you mess up a true story?), but the acting is comically terrible (all of them, but the police chief is worst of all - yikes). And why did they cast an actress who looks like she's twelve? It made the whole thing even less believable, and I just didn't care what happened to the characters one way or another. Please don't waste your time on this like I did.

This was really bad even for a Lifetime movie. Sometimes I get pleasantly surprised with a good Lifetime movie but this one just disappointed from start to finish. The pace was extremely slow with constant flashing back and flashing forward which just didn't work in my opinion. The lead actress was more annoying than anything. Just nonstop crying throughout the whole movie. Maybe part of the problem was that I already knew the whole story because Forensic Files did an episode on it which I saw so there was no suspense for me but it was far too dragged out with a lot of filler I thought. I wouldn't waste your time with it.
