words fail me.

I agree that a lot of it is totally unbelievable and cliche. For instance, the therapist or psychiatrist is usually murdered in a plot like this. I could see it coming a mile away.
And, how did the cop just happen to know about the warehouse, when he had never been to the friend's lake place before? And how did he know it was open? Why didn't Sonia tase him as soon as she could--before he shot her friend, for instance? Why didn't Sonia immediately think it was mighty peculiar that he showed up in the middle of nowhere on the way to the lake place, and why did she stop the car without thinking twice? Why didn't Sebastian call the police before setting off to the warehouse?
And why did they talk about New York city as being "over there", when Bostonians would refer to it as "down there"? Another time, I think I heard Sonia say to the cop, "What are you doing down here?" (referring to Boston)
Most of the movie was just stupid, and I guess not worth talking about, except that I always hope against hope that viewer criticisms can improve future movies.

And she never noticed that Tom was following her on this sparsely traveled road? One of the worst LMN movies I have ever watched.

How about the fact that his car was always parked outside her house as well? Also, she was scared of him in the beginning of the movie when she discovered the pictures on his laptop, yet she still agrees to see him when he calls her. She should have suspected him from the moment that she got home to her front door being wide open.

Agree it's a horrible movie but I do have a few words. Hey Sebastian, she treated you like crap, not believing you or giving you a chance to explain,so when you get out of jail avoided her like the plague because she's going to set you up to get killed. Now assuming she then survives her crazy ex and came crawling back on her knees, then and only then maybe entertain the thought of forgiving her.

Thank you. I have just watched this on tv and jumped straight on here to write precisely what you have already written.

Sonia was a nasty, vain, self-centered bitch. Forgive her, sure, but she should be left to rot into the 'old-maid-dom' to which she is destined.

And another thing while I'm at it:

The Godawful monst'rous 'therapist' - a lesbian who fancied Sonia and went out of her way to destroy a good old-fashioned heterosexual relationship, because she is a bitter and jealous old hag. The smug look on her face when she discovered that Sonia had kicked Tom to the kerb (via her advice) was repellent. Her angst when she heard that Tom was making an effort was palatable. The visit from David(Tom) was karma at its most wicked. With MST3K - this movie could have been a masterpiece. :D
