Blu-ray Review: I'M DANGEROUS TONIGHT

I'M DANGEROUS TONIGHT is a movie I discovered years after it aired on cable TV. This made for TV movie is directed by Tobe Hooper and stars the fantastic and beautiful Madchen Amick along with R. Lee Ermey as a Columbo-like detective, Dee Wallace (who shows up in the second half of the movie), and Anthony Perkins as a college professor. Amy (Madchen Amick) is a college student who gets involved with acquiring props for a college theatre production. One of the props I a trunk that contains an ancient Aztec sacrifice cloak that possesses the wearer and preys on their darkest desires. It affects the boy that Amy will get involved with, but she takes the cloak home before she knows about its history. She turns it into a sexy red dress that will cause plenty of chaos as it affects each wearer of the dress in a different way. Amy must track down the dress before it spreads its evil further.

It is great rediscovering this made for cable classic as Madchen Amick shines in this minor classic from Tobe Hooper. It is one of the better 1990s made for cable movies filmed on quick by a very capable director and crew.
