From The Movie Snob:

A Killer Inside (F). This was my first trip to Dallas’s historic Inwood Theater after its recent renovation. The improvement was amazing, at least in the upstairs theater where I saw this movie. Remember how the seats in the upstairs theaters used to be really cramped, and the rows were so close together your knees hit the seat in front of you? No more! The seats are large and spacious, and you have plenty of legroom now. On the downside, the soundproofing leaves much to be desired. The thumping bass in the theater next door came through the walls loud and clear. Still, on the whole, I will be pleased to go back to the Inwood for another showing.

But not of this turkey, which was shot here in Dallas. The only reason I went to see it is that a co-worker of mine was an extra in it, and it turned out that her scene wound up on the cutting-room floor. It’s a terrible made-for-cable-TV-quality murder mystery in which C. Thomas Howell plays Dallas attorney Addison Terrill and Sean Young plays his alcoholic wife. She turns up dead, and everybody’s a suspect. How could they bear to make this drivel? Are they so desperate to work that they would willingly humiliate themselves like this? No, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were blackmailed into it.
