Although the small town of Rutland, VT, lives contentedly in the shadow of the huge, newly constructed Rankin Dam, there are those who realize that the dam was built "below code" and with inferior materials for the purpose of saving a few bucks. City Counsel President Natalie Powell (Michele Greene) soon has reason to regret the short-cuts taken with the project when the town is threatened by a raging flood. Even worse: Natalie's architect husband David (Joe Lando) and son Garth (Matthew Eward) are trapped inside the dam. Made for television, Killer Flood: The Day the Dam Broke debuted over the PAX network April 25, 2003, the same day that the filmed was screened at a benefit premiere in the real-life Rutland, VT. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this thriller, a woman discovers that the young man living on her property isn't as nice as she initially believed. Jessica Michaels (Linda Purl) rents out the guest house at her estate to David Summer (Maxwell Caulfield), a quiet man who is neat, well-behaved, and courteous. Jessica figures that she could hardly ask for more from a tenant, though her daughter Laura (Stacy Hogue) is convinced that David is up to no good. And it turns out that Stacy's right; many years ago, David's father was killed, and he has come to believe that Jessica is to blame, and moving into the guest house is part of a carefully laid plan to take his revenge. The Perfect Tenant also features Earl Holliman, Melissa Behr, and Tracy Nelson. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Beware! Though the title may inspire thoughts of a cherubic being aiming arrows at would-be lovers, the subject matter of this low-budget psychological thriller is anything but romantic. Jennifer has recently left her lover and moved to L.A. to live with her wild sister Susan and work in a bookstore. There she meets the charming, handsome Eric and develops a big crush. They begin seeing each other and romance develops. Too bad, for Jennifer has no idea that beneath his wonderful exterior, Eric is an obsessive monster, one who has killed before and will surely kill again before the last reel unspools. Eric also has an equally deadly sister, one who would kill to resume her incestuous relationship with Eric. Fortunately for Jennifer, her old beau, Richard decides he wants her back. He doesn't think Eric is so wonderful and thus begins his own investigation. The coincidental (?) murder of Jennifer's sister, also sets Detective Thompson on the case. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Part ten of the 13-part series UFO Diaries looks at Roswell, NM. On July 2, 1942, something crashed outside of Roswell. The U.S. military announced the crash to the newspapers, but then quickly changed the story, reporting that nothing had happened except that a weather balloon experienced an untimely crash. Some say that a UFO crashed -- with a living creature inside. The military had access to the body of a dead alien on which they performed a secret autopsy. Since that day over 50 years ago, others have sought to learn if the military did indeed plan and execute a cover-up. ~ Leslie Birdwell, All Movie Guide

The documentary's beginning and end are framed by a "cover story" in which a Chinese elder is setting up (and at the end, taking down) a screen for showing the film to some children. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
