This is a classic made for TV movie from 1996, its about teenagers and domestic violence leading to murder, based on a true story.I've watched this probably 20 times over the years, the only bad thing I have to say is the overall "style" and feel of the movie is getting more and more outdated as time goes on, but that's how it goes for most made for TV lifetime movies. they age bad.The acting is decent. The soundtrack is pretty good.

This movie was OK for the most part. Not a big fan of Candace Cameron but I do like Savage. The only reason why I saw this movie was because of a lesson in health class (yes im a teenager) on relationship abuse, so I really appreciate a movie over some notes or worksheets. But most importantly this movie sends a very important message about abusive relationships, don't ask for help or try to escape when it's too late, get help immediately.Candace Cameron (I forget her characters name i thinks it's Stacy) is surprised to find that one of the most athletic and popular boys in school, bobby, has a crush on her. They go out and the relationship grows more serious to the point where the two have sex (where bobby forced her to by saying it proves her love for him). The girl then finds herself a victim of abuse when bobby hits her for talking to other guys, not doing the things he asks her to do (because she must obey him). When she finally has the courage to leave him, bobby snaps. He finds a quiet place by a lake at night and stabs the main character until death. Her body is found and Bobby's friend who was there that night confesses that bobby was the one to kill her, wrap her body and throw her body into the lake. Bobby is sent to prison for life and justice is served. A pretty OK movie, good lesson though. I give it a 6.5/10

This movie broke my heart in a major way. It also enlightened me. I mean, everybody heres the horror story's of girls in abusive relationships. And your first thought is, how can she stay with him? And how do u let it get as bad as Stacy did? But this really is a great movie. I saw it in Health class, and i was just so sad. Stacy was brutally murdered and she didn't have to be. If someone had just spoken up, or noticed something. It's scary how in love she was with him, and how much he controlled her. THIS WAS BASED ON A TRUE STORY! So everybody should try and look out for their friends. I hope that if something that horrible was happening to me, I A. would have the sense to get out, or B. Have good enough friends to help m.

I think this film is 10/10 it relates to how some woman are treated and it shows the justice in what the crime can do it shows that if your so in love with someone you cant see if they are hurting you,you think its doing you good i know my friend was in the same situation until she saw this film.i think the cast was amazing especially Fred Savage i think he is gorgeous and the actress who played Stacey Collins she did it so well the fear in her eyes everything I'm only 16 and i love this film still i only watched this film a couple of month ago and i had to get it its hard to get a tape of it i had to go in to every shop in Oldham Manchester Ashton everywhere until i got it .I read a comment someone thought this film didn't describe why bobby was hitting stacey if u watched it properly he described his dad how he use to hit his mother he then said 'I WONT TURN OUT LIKE HIM' which in fact he does he tells stacey no one wants her and makes her depend on him so she wont leave him but in the end she does leave him and he doesn't like it at the end of it all he makes her leave him for good........
