The Student

There's really very little to say about such a terrible movie. I don't know what possessed me to invest any time in this other than it served as a background distraction for getting ready in the morning. The acting is absolutely terrible. The "plot" is ludicrous. I can sum it up by saying there were only 15 minutes left to watch the conclusion - and I turned it off.

The movie overall was a little better than I thought it would be, however it was slightly predictable as this sort of story line has been covered before.

This is a bad and cheap TV movie. I thought I was watching a Russian film with the same title but it was this one. The script is just terrible. An example, it opens with the first day of class at the university. The professor asks a question and the student answers it perfectly. So the professor tells him "I hope you're not one of those who relies on his good looks and charm to pass*. Like this it has many other memorable moments that actually had me bursting out laughing.

At no point does the movie try to be good. It's presented as what it is. So you know crazy things will happen and actually have fun sitting through them. I must say one of the few good things of the movie was the lead actress. She was able to keep a straight face through the script and act like this could actually happen.

Blake Michael late of the Disney Channel stars in this film which is about as far from the Magic Kingdom as you can get. He's a law student and having a tough time of it. The fact he's also psychotic doesn't help.

Professor Alicia Leigh Willis is flunking him in her ethics course and he can't have it. He's under some great pressure from his mom and stepdad. So Blake embarks on a campaign of terror dredging up her past. She's now teaching law because back in the day she prosecuted a man who was executed and later turned out to be innocent.

What can I say but this is trashy and cheap without any entertainment value. The goofy teen from Dog With A Blog doesn't quite cut it as a psycho.

I expected Stan the talking dog to come in and straighten everything out.

You know how it is, you have a streaming cold and all you can do is rest, gurgle away and watch endless nonsense on the television. This is where I find myself today, plonked in front of the idiot box. I tried searching for this film under the title "Tormenting Abigail" which is the name that it appeared under, on UK television. The only non gurgling activity that I have managed today, is adding this fact under the trivia section!
