5/10
Watchable thriller, but nothing outstanding here...
20 February 2021
Right, well for a TV movie then I will say that the 2019 movie "I Almost Married a Serial Killer" wasn't actually all that bad. I must admit that I had expected it to be less interesting and less enjoyable. I mean, the title of the movie just wasn't the best of choices for a movie. Sort of made it sound like a bad drama love novel.

Anyway, I sat down to watch the 2019 thriller without having heard about it or even knowing what it was about.

And it turned out that writer Naomi L. Selfman actually managed to produce a storyline and script that was interesting enough for sustaining the movie. Granted, it wasn't the most riveting of stories, but it was adequate enough for a single viewing.

It should be said that writer Naomi L. Selfman does attempt to throw the audience off track a couple of times throughout the course of the movie, and it worked to some extend. I was left wondering whom people were as the movie progressed, so on that account it worked out. But on the other hand, it made the movie unnecessarily cluttered and it felt like director Nadeem Soumah was stumbling about trying to make sense of the script as it was translated to the screen.

The acting in the movie was adequate, and actress Krista Allen carried the movie well enough with her performance. It was nice, though, to see Louis Mandylor in the movie, because he just always brings that gruffy charm with him, so he was well-cast for the movie.

Once you get past the movie's laughable title, then I will say that "I Almost Married a Serial Killer" is adequate enough entertaining for a single viewing. It wasn't an outstanding movie, nor was it a particularly memorable one. And chances are equal to zero of me sitting down to watch "I Almost Married a Serial Killer" a second time. The movie's plot and storyline just doesn't have the material and contents for more than a single viewing,

My rating of "I Almost Married a Serial Killer" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.
