Michael Biehn writes and directs himself in The Victim, a cheaply-made indie horror-thriller that has his woodland cabin life disturbed by a terrified girl running from murderous crooked cops. While not without interest, especially in the third act (I've always liked Biehn when he's on edge), the first act is a bit disjointed and even at 82 minutes, the movie's got quite a lot of padding - driving around to music and so on. The girl's flashbacks seem to promise a twist, but simultaneously voids any of the more interesting turns the story might take. There IS a twist, but it's not exactly unpredictable. And then there's the goofy curtain call in the credits, covering not just the actors but every job on the movie. In a way, it's kind of like a small DVD extra. On the other, it quickly undoes any chill you might be left with. 2 years 5 months ago -
