Editorial Reviews

A riveting thriller in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock. The perfect marriage turns into a blood chilling nightmare in this tightly spun thriller of a wife and husband locked in a harrowing web of seduction, intrique and murder. Based on a true story. Joyce Benderman (Markie Post) thought she had made the dream marriage. Her husband, Stan (corbin Bersen), is a successful, handsome dentist, and Joyce, who grew up in poverty, cannot believe her good fortune. But her charismatic husband has a dark side that is about to engulf and destroy Joyce's entire world. In rapid succession she discovers that he is a philanderer who enjoys sexually ensnaring and manipulating young women; and, more appallingly, he may be the ruthless killer behind a series of atrocious murders. Scared to death of the man she used to love, and reeling from the unspeakable horror of her newfound knowledge, Joyce agrees to aid a federal agent (Kelsey Grammer) with an elaborate plan to entrap Stan into admitting his guilt. To force his confession and avoid his suspicion, Joyce must play her husband's games. And she must win.

2.0 out of 5 stars ALMOST LIKE A ROOT CANAL, August 6, 2006

This review is from: Appointment for a Killing (DVD)

APPOINTMENT FOR A KILLING is another one of those early 90s tv movies that gave tv stars a chance to "stretch" their wings and try something different from their current series. Too bad they didn't put a little more life into their portrayals. Based on "true" incident, the movie follows the psychotic crimes of dentist Corbin Bernsen who has been offing people for about twenty years. He is currently married to Markie Post (who appears to be on Sominex), and has a sleazy mistress (Suzanne Barnes, over the top indeed) and an ex-con sidekick (Don Swayze in a wasted character). He confesses his latest crime to Markie and she goes to the FBI (a stoic Kelsey Grammer) who uses her to get a confession out of Bernsen. Corbin's real life mom (YOUNG AND RESTLESS's indefatigable Jeanne Cooper) also appears. There's little suspense and a very wimpy climax.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good movie, September 2, 2011

This review is from: Appointment for a Killing (DVD)

I have so many dvd movies and show's that I turned off my cable. There are day's when I miss watching Lifetime movie network. So I love that I bought this movie, which is a movie that I've seen on Lifetime. It is about a Joyce who is married to a dentist named Stan. She thought her marriage was good, but after walking in on her husband sleeping with a patient she finds out Stan has killed people. Not for money but for the thrill. If you are a Lifetime fan you will enjoy this movie.
