Nightmare in the Desert

I had dvr'd this back when it aired and finally decided to sit down and watch it. What a mistake that was! The acting - and I use that term loosely - was so bad I thought I was watching a third rate MadTV skit. Particularly awful were the "actress" playing the photographer's assistant and the leading actress's boyfriend, who chewed the scenery with their cartoonish delivery. The only saving grace was the leading actress, Gia DeSauvage who has a true star quality and was the only one giving any sort of credible performance, which is commendable considering the tremendous obstacles she had to work against. The script and plot were laughable. I would say the acting of everyone (except for the lead actress) was community theatre level if I wasn't afraid of every community theater in America suing me for defamation!
