Sweet Sixteen

Writing Quality: Quite a unique story line that follows the mysterious murders of anyone who gets close to Melissa, the main character. But who is behind the killings continues to baffle us, especially since the motive remains unclear. However, the script feels a bit lost as it sways between the sheriff and his family and Melissa and her "boyfriends"; there isn't a strong connection between these two shifts so the story feels disjointed.

Scare Factor: The deaths are troubling, but it isn't really until the finale that we get a bit of a scare. The motive is heavily implied though fragments are still left like fall leaves in the wind as how that motive relates to Melissa isn't wholly understood.

Content (sex, language, & violence): Particularly strange is the nude scene of Melissa in the shower, just after we keep hearing how she is only 15 (the actress is 19). There is no reason for this scene--it does nothing for the story at all. Mild language, some violence with the final scene culminating in the most violence, though it is short-lived.

Acting: Mediocre

Values: The sheriff's daughter strives to find answers to the surrounding deaths

Bonus: Dana Kimmell (Chris in Friday the 13th part 3) stars as the sheriff's daughter.
