If you're a fan of chilling films about serial killers such as 'Silence Of The Lambs', then this could be just up your street!
What sets this film apart from inferior films is the believable plot. Without giving too much away, Camille (Krista Allen) discovers that the guy she is about to marry is in fact a deranged psychopathic serial killer who has already killed eight other women. She manages to narrowly avoid becoming his ninth victim and testifies against him in court. Naturally, he is sent to prison for a very long time. However, he shockingly manages to escape from the maximum security prison he was held in and then undergoes plastic surgery which completely alters his appearance. Incidentally, he also kills the guy who undertook the surgery. It is a shame that James Tang who played the Doctor wasn't given a bigger role in the film as he wasn't really able to display his acting credentials to the full given that he was only on screen for a few seconds before receiving a bullet to the head.
Camille and her daughter then move to a different town with new identities and they bump into a guy with a dog...who turns out to be the serial killer...remember...he has changed his appearance dramatically.
She falls in love with him all over again and then he tries to kill her again.... I won't give away the ending but suffice to say that the cad gets his comeuppance in the end.
Excellent acting by all the players and a truly believable plot makes for a hugely entertaining cinematic experience. Louis Mandylor is outstanding as the seriously psychopathic serial killer of the title and Ms Allen delivers an excellent performance in the lead role.
The film has more twists and turns than the Le Mans racetrack and overall is a cautionary tale for all attractive ladies to think twice before dating dangerous psychopaths who wield sharp knives and engagements rings.
Highly recommended!
