4.0 out of 5 stars WHO'S TO BLAME, February 1, 2005

This review is from: Closer and Closer (DVD)

One of the underlying themes of this well done made for TV films is what responsibility should a creative person take for the work they create? In this case, a female mystery writer has written two best selling novels about a serial killer named the Gargoyle. Both books have seemingly prompted a copy cat killer to mimic the crimes of her novels. The general populace says the author should be just as guilty as the killer. While this is not something I agree with (I've read several serial killer books and have yet to kill anyone), it makes for an interesting underlying theme, and ultimately, a reason for the murders. Kim Delaney stars as the novelist, who was rendered disabled after her encounter with the first copycat killer. She has secluded herself in an out of the way cabin, and doesn't have much of anything to do with anyone, except her personal assistant, Jenny, and her personal trainer, BJ (a rugged John J. York). When the copycat killings take up again after her second best seller, the FBI moves in, which also includes Delaney's former lover, agent John Grady (Scott Kraft). A sleazy tabloid news anchorman also figures in the plot, and director Fred Gerber keeps us guessing in this suspenseful and well acted chiller.

I loved this movie! "Closer and Closer" is brilliant. It's about a horror writer who's in a wheelchair and a killer starts calling her and is really weird and obsessed with her. It's really cool!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not great, but pretty good., October 4, 2009

Not one of Kim Delaney's greatest, but it's still an interesting variation on the locked room mystery. In this case, the lock is our heroine's paralysis, and consequent confinement to a wheelchair, as well as her fear of leaving the "security" of her home. When a serial killer adopts the persona of her best-known villain, and begins killing others while stalking her, a suspenseful damsel in distress story develops. Despite her fierce independence, her disability forces her to turn to others for help in this crisis, while trying to find out who the killer is. He targets her with recorded threats over the internet, and the fear factor rises nicely till the villain is revealed. Sadly, the ending, not so dramatic, but pretty good nonetheless.
