Vingança Obsessiva

Is the word for this vacant film about revenge. A sorry bunch of actors as well. Cynthia Gibb, whom I like, is wasted in a thankless and clueless role as the wife who is unaware of the evil around her. I mean how empty headed can you be? The husband, played by another boring actor, John Shipp, is also clueless. I mean didn't he know his brother's daughter? Come on. Then we have the witch herself, played by Danielle Kind, who goes around with one look on her face. "I'm gonna get you". The kid daughter is wise to her from the start. Played by Annie Bovaird, she's the only sensible one in the film. And of course, no one listens to her. Oh, then we have Anastasia Phillips playing a so called femme fa tale. Wrong. She was as plain and plump as she could be. The furthest from being an attractive woman. That was far fetched casting. Josh, played by Jamieson Boulanger, fared better in a smaller role. You believed him.

Writing was awful, acting was hilarious, plot was predictable, directing was so-so and over all a terrible movie even for the likes of LMN.

Poorly acted low budget Lifetime channel garbage. Shut it off after the first twenty minutes.

Christie is a young college student who suffers from the loss of her father who committed suicide, so Christie holds her uncle responsible and plans to take her revenge.

the film has a very basic plot outline, so you can pretty much predict how it all ends, but at least its great entertainment, the acting is good but some character reactions are not very convincing at times, their expressions tend to look a little wooden, although other cast members pull of their roles quite nicely

Overall, its good for those days when you have nothing to do, but do give it a try, and despite the miner flaws it will keep you entertained from start to finish.

I originally bought the DVD because I'm a big fan of John Wesley Shipp, who played Ray Colton. Once I watched it, I was pleasantly surprised. It turned out I related to the plot, a young woman seeking revenge against relatives she felt did her and her father wrong. The performances of Mr. Shipp and Cynthia Gibb (FAME and SEARCH FOR TOMORROW) were good in that the reactions when they realized that their teenage daughter was right about Christy all along were that of utter shock and disbelief. The girls who played Christy and her cousin were adequate. The blonde girl who was part of Christy's plan came off like a total ditz. Perhaps Paris Hilton could have played the part better.

Well , first of all, I just couldnt take dad Ray seriously, beacause I thought I was watching Barry Van Dyke in " Diagnosis Murder " !!!

Secondly, I am tired of watching stupid parents, who, by the way, are meant to educated and intelligent ,them being a doctor and an architect , who simply cannot see what is going on right under their noses !!!!

And of course, the only only person with a brain in the house is the moody teenage daughter , whom they both believe to be incapable of using it.

I found the whole movie tedious and fairly predictable , and based on the cliched characters and stiff acting , I am not rating this well.

And also , actres Sophie Gendron is cast as moms work colleague Janet .

Is it just me , or does she constantly appear in Lifetime offerings ???????

Kind of hard to relate to a character when you have seen them just recently in another movie , Maybe they should shake up their actor list !!

Viewers DO get tired of the same faces , and YES we do notice !!!
