    You CAN judge this one by it's cover... guess who's the psycho?

    Jack Scalia turns up again in this cruddy TV movie. Looks like he's trying to grow old gracefully! This TV movie looks cheap and it's been done time & time before. Fatal Attraction has a lot to answer for! The only good things about this late-night nonsense is the opening sequence, which has a young lady being dropped from a apartment building and the camera going around her body in slow motion as she falls. A neat trick and quite beautiful (until she smashes full pelt into a car roof that is). The other good thing is Kim Delaney who deserves better than this and in my opinion is a very under-rated actress who also radiates beauty. But then what do I know... This one gets a 3/10 on the ShoonScale, Delaney bumps it up from a 2. Shoong

    The Last 27 Minutes

    This writer gives TD&D an 8 not because it's a good movie but because it is hilariously fun. Indeed, the last 27 minutes offer most of the ridiculousness.

    The viewer can take the opportunity to make fun of the entire situation. All one has to do is make up little witty jokes and voilà! The movie is funny fun. Give it a whirl while it's still available.

    when an educated woman stopped thinking from brain. .. and start thinking from her V.

    A good movie with somehow a little weird performance , but anyhow its a 90s movie , so it doesnt matter.

    this movie doesnt consider as EROTIC thriller , as there is no nude or much sex scenes.

    The Perils of Dating a Homicidal Maniac

    This film essentially begins with a young woman by the name of "Maggie Springer" (Kim Delaney) breaking up with her boyfriend "Sam Harrison" (Todd Allen) who is moving to Alabama to start a new business. After a few months she meets someone named "Roy Calvin" (Jack Scalia) and quickly falls head over heels for him. After spending a couple of nights together, however, he begins to become quite controlling and as a result she decides to break up with him. The problem is that he is a homicidal maniac, and he doesn't take rejection well at all. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this movie started off rather well but as the film progressed things became more and more implausible--to the point that the last 15 minutes or so were completely ridiculous. But that's Hollywood for you. Be that as it may, in spite of the increasingly nonsensical plot, I thought Kim Delaney put in a solid performance for the most part and I have rated this movie accordingly.

    ah, come on, it´s not that bad

    the plot it tightly knit and properly worked out, maybe it´s true that there is not much of a character to be found in this movie, but hey, this film is not about characters as such, but about one sick situation!
