And when she left him, he still found a way to trick her just once more so that he could kill her. She had a wonderful support system, primarily her best friend and mother, but she felt obligated to stand by Rob. Watching her endure the torments of her abuser tore at my heart. The entire movie, she is happy, bright, enjoying life, and when Rob hurts her, she cowers, feels guilty, loses her vivacity all the while trying to please him. Scarrwener honors Amy's (whom Sarah is based on) memory. A story of a boy who moved fast onto his victim, made her, yes, made her be with him, stay with him, no matter what he did to her, who refused to let her have any friends, who blamed her for his own insane jealousy and fits of anger. A boy who felt justified in inflicting physical, emotional, and mental abuses at Sarah, then who showed no remorse, just cold empty soulless eyes as he was sentenced to a life sentence in 1992 for first-degree murder. This is a true story about a 16-year-old teen who murdered his 14-year-old girlfriend. When I say devoted, I mean devoted to controlling her and abusing her every step of their relationship. This remake is just as outstanding as its predecessor with Matreya Scarrwener playing the main character, now named Sarah, and Callan Potter as Rob, her devoted boyfriend. I remember feeling every emotion that Stacy (Cameron) felt, even though I hadn't experienced what she did.

The person who asked the question then said, “But as a corrections officer, isn’t Worf a cop?” Dorn looked out at the audience, crestfallen, then just slowly walked off the stage early and went back to his room alone.When I saw the 1996 version with Fred Savage and Candace Cameron, I remember being invested in it all the way through. Someone asked, “Why is Worf your favorite role?” He replied that he was tired of always playing police officers after CHiPs and it was great to be in a role that let him do something different. *This reminds me of a convention I was at where Michael Dorn was speaking.
#FRED SAVAGE AND CANDACE CAMERON MOVIE#
You may wonder, “Why is this movie so scummy?” I’d blame director Noel Nosseck, who made drive-in fare before this like Best Friendsand Las Vegas Lady before moving to TV movies.Īlso: I absolutely love the fake Guns ‘n Roses playing in the first scene. IMDB wants me to say that it was because he had scheduling conflicts with Family Matters, but I think VelJohnson was just sick of constantly having to play a cop, a role he did in Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Turner & Hooch, Ghostbusters and Plain Clothes*. Reginald VelJohnson turned down the role of a cop in this movie.

I mean, even when these kids get on the stand in a trial, they speak up for the boy, saying that he wouldn’t have had to beat her if she just listened. Their indifference - one could say that No One Would Tell - leads to Cameron’s character getting treated to a Laura Palmer funeral. More often than not, this action happens in TV movies about very important issues.Įveryone just wants to be popular and not rock the boat.
#FRED SAVAGE AND CANDACE CAMERON FULL#
Tanner with full force roid rage, is there? I realize I’m making light of a real problem - women now know to respect themselves and show ape-like men the door - but I’m also in awe of movies where actors just go for it. Man, there’s really nothing like seeing Kevin Arnold tear into D.J. There’s also a Lifetime remake that came out in 2018, but we’re dealing with the original. This one is based on the Augmurder of Amy Carnevale by her high school boyfriend Jamie Fuller. Yes, there comes a time in every actor’s life to do a made-for-TV ripped from the headlines movie. Fred Savage was an ebullient teen, someone who seemingly could never do wrong until in this film, he becomes a high school wrestler who gets on the gas and goes bonkers on Candace Cameron.
