She develops an intense crush on her hunky creative writing teacher, Peter Rinaldi (Alex McArthur), but her numerous attempts at seduction end in failure. Soon Peter's friends start turning up dead, and he fears that his fiancée, Marilyn (Sherrie Rose), may be Debbie's next victim.

As bad as the movie gets (which, to be fair, isn't THAT bad), Rose McGowan holds it together on at least a 'watchability' level. 'Believability' is another story.

Rated: 2/5

Aside from a few funny moments with McGowen's unbalanced character, this flick offers nothing new to the Fatal Attraction-like genre.

Finally selling this DVD tho almost kept it after rewatching last night. It's a pretty awful movie, but Rose McGowan is on point.

It's hard to enjoy a movie if the main character was made to be extremely hated. It's not a good sign when you're already rooting for her death within the first act. It's disgusting, stupid, and a complete waste of time.
