Whoa! You gotta just wait for it! 0_o
Made for TV, airing March 4th in the US.
Filmed entirely in California.
There are three stories to this movie. All about women, all played by Karen Black.
Story 1, "Julie". College student Chad has suddenly, out of the blue, getting the hots for his meek, librarian-like teacher. Chad asks her for a date but she resists, claiming teachers are not allowed to date students. But Chad persists and gets his date. While on the date, Chad takes advantage of his teacher and then seemingly blackmails her into having a secret relationship with him. That is, until she gets bored with him.
Story 2, "Millicent and Therese". Millicent and Therese are sisters who have just lost their beloved father. Millicent has taken it upon herself to invite her sister's boyfriend over, whom she's never met - to fill him in on her sister's evilness. At first, he doesn't believe what Millicent tells him about how devious Therese is. But after she explains she knows about a certain disaster between the boyfriend and Therese, he believes her. But none of it matters because Millicent hates Therese so much, she plans on taking care of her for good the same way she believes Therese has been ruining people for years.
Story 3, "Amelia". Amelia brings home a strange, ugly Zuni Hunting Fetish for her new man-friend which she believes he will love. She attempts to break her weekly Friday night date with her overbearing mother, but she just gets the guilt trip. While on the phone with mommy dearest, she tells her all about the gift until her mother hangs up on her. After explaining to the ugly doll that she is going to have a nice evening, she sits it down. In doing so, a lock and chain fall off the Fetish. Amelia then cancels her date for mother. Amelia steps back into the room where she left the Fetish, but it's now missing. But that's only cause he's on the rampage for blood!
