Strong-willed but overlooked newspaper reporter Teri Austen dolls herself up and goes undercover to catch a serial killer targeting women through video-dating services.

Available for £1 on the hard to resist "23rd Century" DVD label, (available from skid-row discount shops across the UK) this has some above-average performances, especially from Austen. Bringing grit and guts not usually associated with woman-in-jeopardy fodder, she looks great and gleefully pours scorn on a parade of sleaze-bags she meets during her investigations.

You'll guess the ending from the first frame, but this is credible enough, moves briskly and is professionally made.
