"It Was A Bizarre, Brutal Murder With No Apparent Cause!"...

FIVE DESPERATE WOMEN jumps right off, with an insane murderer escaping from a mental hospital, then killing his first victim. All within the first 3 minutes!

The five old friends of the title, including Stefanie Powers, Denise Nicholas, and Joan Hackett, reunite for a big weekend on a tiny resort island. It's made quite clear that the madman is on the loose and will probably be dropping by. Of course, this is decades before cell phones, and there's no phone on the island.

All five female characters are solid, and work well as a team. They're believable as old school friends.

The identity of the killer is not revealed until well into the story. Then, it all hits the fan. Both Bradford Dillman and Robert Conrad are effective as the possible suspects.

5DW is an outstanding made-for-TV horror-thriller from a time when television was king, and such quality films were common...
