Forgive me but it was very late and I could not sleep so I stayed up for The Eleventh Victim (which I had taped earlier) and the story line was the most ridiculous and not plausible from the opening scene to the very end. This is supposed to be a suspense film surrounding a serial killer named Clint Burrel Cruise (played by Colin Cunnigham) who captures his female victims, strangles them and then poses their dead bodies in a certain position so that he can paint them on canvas and imitate famous artists by striking a similar pose as the renowned artists works of art.There is dramatic opera style music throughout the film which was intended to keep the audience in suspense but all it did for me was indicate when something boring and predictable would happen. Of course there is a brilliant and beautiful prosecuting attorney named Hailey Dean (played by Jenny Garth) who puts this serial killer in prison awaiting his death sentence but as the writers of this mess of a made for TV movie would have it the serial killer Cruise is released for a retrial and is free to continue on his murderous ways. There is an ever so slight comparison to the 1986 film Manhunter where the serial killer gets naked down to his skivvies to paint his own body on the canvas just to show how creepy he is but please gag me with a spoon it is by no means suspenseful.This movie is as predictable as ordering hot buttered popcorn and doing a blind taste test. Who wouldn't know what that taste was? Well in this film, everyone can figure out what is going to happen next. The twist at the end of the film? Gag me with a spoon the second time please.Don't waste any time on this serial killer film. Instead put a blind fold around your head and try doing the hot buttered popcorn taste test. I assure you that you will have a better time than watching this crap.My rating is a 1 out of 10. It's a total waste of time.
... View MoreI just watched this movie with my wife last night, and I have to say a frontal lobotomy would probably be more enjoyable the suffering through this movie. This is by far the biggest piece of garbage I have ever seen in my life, and that's saying a lot. It's Filled with bad acting, and completely unrealistic scenarios. I have watched some Bad Movies before, but this one is the king of the crap pile, Making me wonder how this movie got out of production..I created an account on here just to rate this crappy movie..The BS in this movie is so deep Adele couldn't roll in it! Do yourself a favor and forget that you even heard about this movie!
... View MoreI've said this review contains a spoiler but really the title itself does that, given that they start with seven victims A film that doesn't really need to bother with stuff like realistic characters, plotting or dialogue, presuming that if we're willing to suspend disbelief enough to accept Jennie Garth (yes you know her – Kelly from 'Beverly Hills 90210') as a hotshot lawyer who seamlessly metamorphoses into a successful therapist, we'd pretty much go along with anything. And not wonder (in a physician, heal thyself, kind of way) why Jennie (let's not bother with character names since she doesn't bother to act), intelligent psychiatrist, doesn't wean herself off the anxiety pills she's been on since her last case but instead has to continually reach for them in a panic at the slightest sound.Sometimes I think that film as a whole would be immeasurably improved if there were a veto against flashbacks. Jennie obviously agrees with me. Forced to endure acting a series of flashbacks of being throttled, she reasons that it's not worth wasting too much effort on these, opting not to bother to change her expression when strangled. She simply looks a little peeved, like she might have to (but maybe not) miss a hair appointment. She greets most of the events in the movie with this look of mild annoyance and a hair toss. Inexplicably antagonistic to the police, she accuses them of suspecting her of the murder although they haven't shown any sign of this and appear completely bemused by her attitude.I soon find myself wishing that the serial killer of the seven women would make Jennie his eighth victim (for crimes against acting although I have to hold the director partly responsible) granting us a merciful release from the rest of the movie – another three victims' long (we would have to alter the title to 'The Eighth Victim') and Jennie would not have to spout such lines as 'I think he's playing some sick game with me'. She tries to call the police, saying it's a matter of 'life or death'. Unfortunately, her lack of emphasis means it comes across more like a matter of 'deep pan or thin crust' so she doesn't quite get the response she wants.With the killer eventually confessing to his crimes in detail, as they almost always do in these movies, Jennie symbolically chucks her tablets away, even though the last time he was caught and in jail, she took them all the time. Where's the logic?Anyway, hope springs eternal that someone out there will like this garbage so be very afraid, the door has been left open for a sequel. After seeing this though, you'll want to slam it shut. Otherwise – 'The Twelfth Victim' anyone?
... View MoreThis movie was horribly bad. Story line was predictable and the sketchy police work was a major disappointment. I like Nancy, but I would suspect that the court proceedings and the way the police conducted their investigations would mirror real life police work more.Prime Example: Hailey was arrested, because a pen was found at the crime scene. Especially when it was clear that her office had been broken into and vandalized. Hailey also waited to a later time to share with the detective that the pen was lost. Who does that? Especially when you are being falsely accused of murder. That is information you would want to be told right away.Next example - Hailey tells her receptionist to run and go to the police, why not call the police and have them come to you.Finally, (although I have about 5+ more, I will let you the viewers decide on your own). Criminals are given medical attention in specific places WITH police detail because they are dangerous. Cruz was not supervised and was able to kill and escape again. Sketchy.. Especially with him being a serial killer and was up for death row.
