There were six murders in this shlock-horror film that didn't gel. allvictims were friends of Melissa Sue Anderson who thinks she,herself, might be the killer. Her psychiatrist (GF) thinks otherwise. Anyway, who cares?
Certainly not the scenarists to judge from the quality of the screenplay, not the director nor the cast and surely not the public that avoided it. |
