Sandra F This little old 1990's movie, apart from being a true story had Barbara Hershey and Brian Dennehy in it.. a plus already but I saw it as a school girl and started engrained in every part of me, in every way.. so much so that I searched for a copy and bought it.. Best 3.50 'invested' to watch as many times as I like and pass on to others too.. That's the point of our varying experiences.. Know what came before us To enjoy what we have today So we can pass it on to those who come after us.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Audience Member The worst 01 hour: and 37 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member If this is the movie i am thinking of, it's very good. It is quite old and has aged but it doesn't stop it from being excellent. Quite disturbing in some parts to know that it is a true story. A must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Not entirely mindless but the ending hysterics do distract and disturb Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Based on a true story, a rather chilling tale of an outwardly perfect wife and mother who axes her friend to death - was it self defence or murder!? Oooo! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member From a newspaper DVD says based in a book or posisbly a true story. by deafreat one woman killed her frind but proved that she had psycho problems Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
