`Fatal Attraction' in a Farm

Kevin Reese (Kyle Secor) is a simple and good man in love with Beth (Tracey Gold). He fights to pay the debts left by his father and recover the family's farm from the bank. One day, he helps Cheryl (Courtney Thorne-Smith), a beautiful and deranged girl elected the `princess of the lactic'. Cheryl develops an obsessive passion for Kevin, and tries everything to be with him, transforming Kevin and Beth's lives in `hell on earth'. In the introduction of this film, the viewer is informed that this story is based on a true fact. Courtney Thorne-Smith is really gorgeous and has a great performance, but the story is very common and does not bring any surprise. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): `Obsessão Fatal' (`Fatal Obsession')

Trivia
While much artistic license was taken in the making of this movie, it is based on the 1989 murder of Lisa Cihaski in Wausau, Wisconsin by 20-year old Lori Esker. Esker's boyfriend, Bill Buss, broke off his relationship with her and began dating Cihaski and they became engaged. Esker left school one night, drove 150 miles to Cihaski's workplace, and strangled her with a belt--Cihaski's own belt. Esker removed Cihaski's engagement ring from her finger and drove back to school in River Falls. Esker pleaded self defense, but the act of strangulation showed intent. She was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in 1990. As in the movie, Esker was the Dairy Princess; Cihaski was a former Homecoming Queen.
