Movie review - "Cassandra" (1987) **

 Weird things are happening to Tessa Humphries, daughter of Barry, who is the lead here. 

This isn't a very good movie. It's got telemovie vibes which means a lack of atmosphere, sex and violence. To be fair some televemovies can be very exciting but not this one.

Humphries reminded me of a French actor on Call My Agent - the lesbian accountant. Her dad is played by Shane Briant, her mum by Briony Behets. Plodding pace. Susan Barling as Briant's mistress throws in some nudity.

Jeff Truman and Kit Taylor are cops. A young Natalie McCurry is a receptionist.  Jeff Watson from Beyond 2000 has a cameo. Chris Fitchett wrote and the script with John Ruane and Eggleston. These credits are more interesting than the film.
