An eccentric older woman implicates her brutal & controlling lover in the murder of a young girl.

Viewing Notes
Final movie of the night was a Brian Trenchard-Smith flick which starred CSI’s Marg Helgenberger, who looked hot as usual. Basically it’s supposed to be based on some true serial killer story but played out like an extra long episode of CSI guest starring Henry Thomas. The first half was a little on the weak side, setting up a killer who doesn’t pay off, much like many CSI episodes but the second half was decent fun.
At this point most everyone had dozed off except myself and Jay/Sleestakk. Lack of big action and/or thrills made it a rough movie to end the night on, but I ended up liking it, but not loving it.
All in all a wonderful BTSNAT and I had a terrific time and cannot wait to do it again!
Oh yeah, as a final watch we actually finished watching this Playtex VHS tape that had a young girl talking to experts about a girl’s first period and we all got a lesson on how to use a tampon. A completely mental way to end the night to say the least.
