Review of Deadly Love

Deadly Love (1995 TV Movie)
6/10
Captures the Sense of Loneliness Quite Well
10 May 2016
After witnessing her lover commit suicide, a vampire named "Rebecca Barnes" (Susan Dey) wanders the streets of New York looking for her next victim. When she isn't on the prowl she also doubles as a photographer which seems to relieve her boredom more than anything else. One night she meets a man and after taking his picture agrees to go for a walk with him. When he tries to rape her he gets more than he bargained for and his body is found in a dumpster the next day-drained of blood. About 3 weeks later a police officer named "Detective Sean O'Connor" (Stephen McHattie) just happens to see the dead man's photograph in an art magazine and goes to talk to the photographer in an attempt to gather some leads. It's then that both Rebecca and Sean meet and quickly fall in love. But the more Sean investigates this murder the more he begins to suspect that Rebecca is somehow involved. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a surprisingly good made-for-television movie which did a decent job of conveying the loneliness that Rebecca has had to endure for such a long time. I especially liked the chemistry between the two lead actors along with the excellent performance by Susan Dey in this particular role. Likewise, the fact that she looked quite stunning certainly didn't hurt either. In any case, this was an entertaining film and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
