I remember reading a script to a movie which a friend wrote titled "Jennifer is Dead". Acouple of months later he told me it was going to be made into a movie, I was excited. I finally got my hands on a copy and I found it quite enjoyable. Sometimes the acting is kind of cheesy, but in the end it's all good. The editing isn't the best, but after a while you get into it. The beginning party scene was kind of dumb. But all in all i thought it was entertaining. If you ever have a chance to get your hands on a copy, I suggest for you to get it! 7/10

Very interesting TV fare

When I first prepared to see this pilot for the proposed "Fatemaster" series, I was expecting to see a story based more on a tale of horror or the supernatural than what was presented. Because it is not, it was a pleasant surprise. So much for expectations.
The story deals with a subject matter that is neither horror nor supernatural, yet is both, and does it in an interesting, almost Kafkaesque way. For that reason, I enjoyed this production and the actors. Although the story is presented in chronological order, it is not really predictable because of the subject matter. The actors portrayed their characters in a very believable manner, with good expression and depth of emotion. The character development is limited to what can be accomplished in a 25-minute short but gives adequate information to support the story.
The only faults that I found were in the opening scene and in the final scene, but these faults may be more what I view as rational and realistic than what the writer wanted to say. In all, though, it is a good story and well worth the time spent viewing it.
