Killer Crush (2015 TV Movie)
4/10
Med-School Knock-Out
6 April 2015
Following the sudden death of her father, pretty blonde med student Daveigh Chase (as Paige York) becomes attracted to her older, still attractive university professor Rick Roberts (as Lucas Emery). Most appropriately, Ms. Chase's educational focus is on psychiatry. From the opening scenes, Chase demonstrates a need for psychiatric help. Fortunately for fans of psycho-driven "Lifetime" TV movies, Chase doesn't get help. To get closer to Mr. Roberts and bring home the bacon, Chase takes a job at the older doctor's luxurious estate. She's going to help his sickly wife Sydney Penny (as Gabby), who has multiple sclerosis...

The Emery estate looks like it would need a large staff to manage, especially with Ms. Penny in a wheelchair and her husband working. Their cute young daughter Grace Zanichkowsky (as Amy Emery) seems capable, but would need some training. Probably, we see Chase working there on the other workers' day off. Mainly, obsessed Chase makes drinks for her beloved teacher's wife. This means trouble. The scenes between Chase and her "rival" Penny lack suspense. Melanie Scrofano (as Tayler York) does well in her role as Chase's alcoholic sister. It's a secondary role, but Ms. Scrofano's character is the most interesting.

**** Killer Crush (4/4/15) Anthony Lefresne ~ Daveigh Chase, Rick Roberts, Melanie Scrofano, Sydney Penny
