This film should be retitled "I Almost Married a Serial Killer Twice"!!!

Camille "Cam" Fieri, the protagonist, falls in love with the suave and dashing Rafael DuPont. After visiting her college classroom where Cam is lecturing on true crime in literature, Rafael is almost to the point of proposing marriage to her. But Cam blunders into his garage, discovers that he is a serial killer, and that she is next on his list.

Cam gets the drop on Rafael, and he is arrested, then put on trial. Convicted of six life sentences, Rafael is set for life behind bars. After Cam goes back to her normal life with her teenage daughter, Violet, Rafael seduces a female guard at the penitentiary, and, with her assistance, he makes a daring escape!

Suddenly, two FBI agents are knocking on Cam's door, and they immediately relocate her in a witness protection program far away in California. But Cam then makes two major mistakes. First, she gives her neighbor a "burner" in which to phone her if her ailing father takes a turn for the worse. The dad may or may not have had a heart attack, and the neighbor phones Cam in California. But the diabolical Rafael steals the burner from the friend, discovers Cam's whereabouts, gets plastic surgery so he won't be recognized, and makes a beeline for California. It turns out that Cam never even follows up about her dad's heart condition.

Cam's second mistake is committed after she and Violet have moved to Willowfield (near Paso Robles). Cam simply cannot refrain from starting a new romantic relationship with a kind farmer and horse-breeder named Brian. As depicted in this film, the master seducer Rafael is able to morph into a new form. This is the principle of multiplicity! When it comes to Farmer Brian, the filmmakers do an excellent job in pulling the wool over Cam's eyes, as well as those of the audience!

There was a clever plot twist in the middle of the film that had a startling effect on the viewer. But much of the action was routine in the cat-and-mouse game played out with great gusto in Willowfield. Cam may not have entirely won the audience over with sympathy, but the villain is truly captivating as he chews the scenery with strategic moves that catches the slow-thinking Cam off guard.

Right, well for a TV movie then I will say that the 2019 movie "I Almost Married a Serial Killer" wasn't actually all that bad. I must admit that I had expected it to be less interesting and less enjoyable. I mean, the title of the movie just wasn't the best of choices for a movie. Sort of made it sound like a bad drama love novel.

Anyway, I sat down to watch the 2019 thriller without having heard about it or even knowing what it was about.

And it turned out that writer Naomi L. Selfman actually managed to produce a storyline and script that was interesting enough for sustaining the movie. Granted, it wasn't the most riveting of stories, but it was adequate enough for a single viewing.

It should be said that writer Naomi L. Selfman does attempt to throw the audience off track a couple of times throughout the course of the movie, and it worked to some extend. I was left wondering whom people were as the movie progressed, so on that account it worked out. But on the other hand, it made the movie unnecessarily cluttered and it felt like director Nadeem Soumah was stumbling about trying to make sense of the script as it was translated to the screen.

The acting in the movie was adequate, and actress Krista Allen carried the movie well enough with her performance. It was nice, though, to see Louis Mandylor in the movie, because he just always brings that gruffy charm with him, so he was well-cast for the movie.

Once you get past the movie's laughable title, then I will say that "I Almost Married a Serial Killer" is adequate enough entertaining for a single viewing. It wasn't an outstanding movie, nor was it a particularly memorable one. And chances are equal to zero of me sitting down to watch "I Almost Married a Serial Killer" a second time. The movie's plot and storyline just doesn't have the material and contents for more than a single viewing,

My rating of "I Almost Married a Serial Killer" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.

Really enjoyed this movie . It was very real . All the actors were so good , even though it was a little confusing , 2 things I didn't like were that if I were her , I would recognize his voice , and another thing is the ending was not what I was expecting .... but it was pretty good over all . Kept me in front of the TV for the whole 2 hours , I didn't even want to move ... nail biting !!! I actually enjoyed it very much '
