Fantastic!
Two women of low moral fiber Mary (Danielle Harris) and Annie (Jennifer Blanc-Biehn) go out on a date in the woods with two police officers Jim (Ryan Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood). Mary (Danielle Harris) is killed during sex by Jim (Ryan Honey) semi-accidentally. The cops decide to kill Annie, who has overheard the conversation and escapes to a cabin occupied by Kyle (Michael Biehn, her real life husband), a man who seemingly has deeper issues than the movie lets on.The production moves into the abduction phase and uses flashbacks to build the girl's character. The questionable aspect as to the identity of the main character i.e. being a possible serial killer is hinted at, but never fully developed to where the audience knows with certainty. We are left with doubt as is Annie.I liked the soundtrack and background music used in the film. They didn't go cheap. When two girls listen to music that sounds like Katy Perry, you know they put out. The character of Kyle was too underdeveloped or under utilized, perhaps Michael was wanting to give more of the story to his wife and not turn this into an ego fest.PARENTAL GUIDE: f-bomb, sex, nudity (Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, the blond from "The Divide").
The decision to watch THE VICTIM was really tough at first having read all the negative reviews about it. Eventually I did see it and yet it isn't that bad. Sure it won't redefine it's genre but the film was entertaining, it had a decent plot and the acting was fair all around. The film is really for people with an acquired taste.Honestly, the only way I could recommend this film is to see it and decide if you like it or not for yourself. I also recommend you not take it very seriously.Overall, THE VICTIM isn't really that bad, granted it's not perfect but it will mostly appeal to people with an acquired taste. Also, if you don't take it very seriously it is rather entertaining.
Well, what should be said about this movie? A low budget movie, half horror, half drama with psychological moments that wants to be good but fails it. The idea on which the script is based may not be bad, but they fail at developing it into the plot. The rape scene doesn't feel real, the lines are sometimes pronounced like a poetry a kindergarten kid tells Santa for a pressie and the fighting scenes simply do not convince me. Of course, when you make independent movies it is not easy to get a blockbuster. If they made Titanic with a few hundred thousand dollars or a million, it would have been a story about a boat sunk on a big lake when spring sun rays got the evil glacier melt.
one of the worst movies i have seen in a while. What redeeming qualities does this movie have? naked chicks, that is all and you can get naked chicks with a quick click of the mouse so what is the point of this movie? the plot is terrible, there is not enough killing, there is just sex and flashbacks and terrible acting. man this movie was terrible and im even more mad that i paid money for it! i read reviews from people calling it a throwback to grindhouse....where? where is this throwback? i do not see it and you people mislead me! im sorry but this movie bothered me...i bought wrong turn 5, it sucked but i got what i paid for. I bought beyond the black rainbow, it sucked but it was only $10 brand new and i new i was taking a risk. I bought this movie, it sucked and i feel ripped off. Do not watch this movie, i rarely hate on a movie like this and don't tell people to go elsewhere but i found nothing good about this movie. That is all.
