One of the cardinal rules for a murder mystery is that you don't introduce the murderer near the end of the movie or novel without having introduced him previously. That's what this movie does and it leaves the viewer entirely frustrated. Shame on the director who makes this movie deserve a minus 5 rating. In any case the heroine, played by Molly Ringwald, evinces no sympathy and the viewer winds up not caring what happens to her. Any emotion in this movie is displayed by the killer who is introduced as a new character in the last five minutes of the movie. His acting ability is displayed like the actors of the silent movie era where the back of the hand is thrown up to the forehead in despair. This movie deserves to be locked away in the annals of movie-making dreck.
