Lower Level

The "action" starts off right away so you don't have time to know the characters or really care about them. The acting and writing makes this a B movie at best. The only small redeeming part was that it involved a strong female lead, but she didn't have any depth at all. Silence of the Lambs came out the same year this movie did and it was a much better cat-and-mouse film. SOTL actually had well developed characters and intense directing. I've seen other movies directed by Kristine Peterson and they're not that much better which, I'm guessing, is why she hasn't directed anything since the late 90's.
