I've never forgotten this movie. It's based on a devastating true story of abuse and how it can keep the victim prisoner until it's too late. Teresa's family is left with the feeling of guilt and frustration over their failure to prevent it.
Very good performances from Valerie Bertinelli, Christopher Meloni and the rest of the veteran cast.
This was the introduction to Luminol, for most of us and it was a chilling one. That scene seems to have stayed with anyone who watched this movie
Also, I see several comments referring to this as a Lifetime movie. It may have been shown there subsequent to it's original airing but I watched when it premiered and it was an NBC movie shown in two parts in late 1991.
If you ever have an eerie feeling that something is "off" with someone you meet, please pay attention to it. There is, more often than not, a good reason for it.
I have a sick feeling that this killer has been released on parole, having been sentenced to just 30 years. I'm surprised at the shortness of this sentence, given that he was obviously a very disturbed and violent man.
Perhaps he charmed and manipulated the jury as he did his several wives. I am not inclined to think that he is no longer a danger to women.
