Two attractive, single twenty-somethings, each with a hidden agenda, thrust together under the guise of potentially finding a mate.
The year was '82, Valerie Bertinelli was a hot commodity, and the tv gurus were eager to cash in. There's no denying she was adorable and personable, and worthy of lead roles.
That being said, this vehicle quickly skidded off the rails. The feeble writing and wince-inducing attempts at humor - and heart-felt moments - never gave it much of a chance. Add to it that Ted Wass was totally wrong for the 'romantic' role opposite Valerie. He came across as an aloof, arrogant and clueless twit, resulting in zero chemistry between the two. And I do mean zero. Nada. Nothing here will convince you that these two would fall for each other. And yet, onward we trod.
Bless her heart, Valerie tries to make the mess she's forced to deal with work. But nothing here makes a bit of sense, or is capable of holding a thinking person's interest for very long. And I'm wondering if Wass was just contractually obligated to play this role, because he couldnt have possibly come across as less interested.
This gets 3/10 only because Valerie did what she could with what she was given to work with. But the further it went, the messier it became. I guess the joke was on me for enduring this one to the very end.

Often when reading reviews regarding true crime, a thought in the back of my mind is some reviewers may have a stake in the game - someone who was impacted in real life {or even imagined} by a case, and as such, the review may carry a predetermined bias. Similar to when you read the 5-star or 1-star reviews of a product on Amazon.
Be assured I had no stake whatsoever in the Suitcase Killer case. I was in a true crime mood and came upon this one, but had never heard of the McGuire case before viewing it.
But I do have a motive in writing this review, and that is to note the continued slide of Lifetime beyond the cesspool into an ever deepening abyss. The vast majority of Hollywood has made it abundantly and increasingly clear for decades that they detest God and people of faith, and are more than eager to trash Him {and us} at every turn. Maybe Lifetime has been doing this for a while now without my knowledge, but here's a news flash to them, and multiple other networks: The majority of Americans dont find blasphemous language in a show entertaining, nor do we ever find it necessary, in any fashion. Lifetime is one network that used to show restraint in regard to this. No longer.
The lead actress was respectable in her role here, but everyone else was cookie cutter performance level. And all Lifetime did by choosing to blaspheme God repeatedly here was turn this one from forgettable to unwatchable. This is one viewer who wont be hurrying back to seek a repeat performance anytime soon. In reality, 1 star is 1 too many.

What this one has going for it: Atmosphere. An interesting premise. The attempt to take you inside the world of a tormented soul with seemingly no escape - but with that faint glimmer of hope that keeps her going into the next night.
What it has working against it: A paper thin budget, sound and lighting issues galore, and a story in the hands of an uninspired novice. You quickly accept its not going to be a cinematic masterpiece, but you hope the story will build to a place it never gets to.
Nightcomer comes off as a rookie production from a collegiate film class, which is unfortunate because it does have one more thing going for it. Mackenzie is a terrific actress - when she has solid meat to work with and be inspired by - but her talent is wasted here. At the time of this writing she hasnt acted in a few years, and maybe has stepped away from it altogether. I suspect that may be a blessing to her life personally, but I've always found her work to be a step above most young actresses of her generation.
Oh, I did like the feel of the musical score during the end credits. Beyond that, not much memorable here. I'd love to see Mackenzie again with a strong script in the hands of a talented director. I believe she would knock it out of the park.
