Featured review
Interesting that this movie was made
It's rare that you have a player in a murder case years later take it upon them-self to write and direct a movie about what they experienced. The actress Jennifer Subjack who played Patricia List did an excellent job portraying the focus of the story, Patricia List. The actor who played the villain of the story Dixon Stearns also did a good job with his creepy uncomfortable looks. The acting teacher who made the movie and starred in the movie playing himself, Edwin N. Illiano obviously did a good job playing himself. I would say there appears to be some stretch to the imagination on his part of some of the details but that's common in most films based on a real story. I don't often leave reviews, in-fact this might be my first one but I wanted to leave it because some reviews of the movie in other places don't do it justice. You have to understand what you are watching and the date that it was made. This is an independent film, it's not a major motion picture and looks like it had a budget of around a few thousand and not that of millions of dollars. These were common movies at the time and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the idea of some of his acting students to have him make the movie. So the year this is made is around 1990-1991 and VHS camcorders were a hot thing, everyone wanted one and then you could edit them and make your own movie with picture and sound, the Super 8 camcorders that came before this didn't have sound, so you can imagine this was a big deal. Literally anyone who had a VHS camcorder and an imagination could now make their own movie. That's what this is and if you accept it for that then it's an interesting look inside a true crime story from a person who was very close to the lead victim in the story, the other victim's are obviously equally as important but this story focuses on the teacher's relationship with the victim Patricia List.
