Tori (Ciny Marrane) is the top uncercover cop in town, always getting
her target - which makes her (inexplicably) a pain in the ass for her
Chief, Edison (Jay Richardson), who eyes for a career in politics and
doesn't like the scandals (?) she causes. Anyways, he gives her more and
more hopeless cases, but she always prevails. This time around, she is
sent to a theatre putting on a song-and-dance revue, where several girls
auditioning have gone missing. Rather surprisingly, it's no problem at all
for her to score a gig as a dancer of the show, and she and the show
director Logan (James Carroll Jordan), a Broadway director who has come
back to where he has started, become romantically involved. Tori has soon
picked her suspect even, Amos (J.Buzz Von Ornsteiner), the slightly
demented brother of the theatre's owner Oliver (William Kerr) - but Amos
likes to play with prop knives, and one day someone substitutes a prop one
for a real one, and live on stage, for everyone to see, Amos accidently
stabs himself to death. Amos was highly insured though, so Oliver decides
to take the money, close up the theatre and lead a happy life ... which
forces the killer out in the open, and it's Logan, who has, when he
started at the theatre, been abused by Oliver's father, whom he has later
killed - but he wanted to have his revenge on the rest of the family and
the theatre as such, too. Of course, in the end Tori sees to it that Logan
gets his just desserts. Though this film starts out (and was
marketed, hence the title) as a slasher, it soon starts to play with cop
movie clichés before becoming a rather tiresome backstage drama, with
little going on until the finale. Now all of this is not essentially a bad
thing, the real problem with this film is there is very little in terms of
tension or suspense to keep the viewers interested, the characters are all
disappointingly flat, and even the many dance scenes are hardly above
basic. To put it bluntly, a pretty boring and disappointing movie.
