Jonathan Silverman, Matt Keeslar, and Desmond Askew star in this modernized take on Robert Louis Stevenson's terrifying tale about a brilliant doctor haunted by his own murderous alter ego. Dr. Henry Jekyll was researching a cure for cancer when he created a computer generated avatar of his alter ego and downloaded it directly into his brain. Now, before Dr. Jekyll knows what's happening, his life has been completely taken over by a psychotic, hedonistic, violent party animal known only as Mr. Hyde. But by the time Dr. Jekyll's faithful girlfriend attempts to break through to her bi-polar boyfriend, it may already be too late. As the bodies begin to pile up and Mr. Hyde's unpredictable temper grows increasingly explosive, it's up to Dr. Jekyll to regain control of his life or risk losing everything he ever cared about. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A tormented young writer with a once-promising career experiences an existential crisis that leads him down a nightmarish path of passion, deceit, and murder. John Hayson is a writer whose career was derailed by personal tragedy. Though there was once a time when John was struggling to meet multiple deadlines, these days he strains just to earn the occasional freelance job. As his lust for life fades and his worldview becomes increasingly cynical, John finds himself suddenly pulled back from the brink when he reconnects with his one and only true love. It was a guiding ray of sunlight in a pitch-black forest, and it was the one thing that should have given John the strength to get his life back on track. Suddenly, fate deals John a cruel hand when police single him out as the main suspect in a horrific murder. Now, as the police track him though the streets and darkness clouds his every thought, the anguished writer will be forced to choose between succumbing to his darkest desires or following the one beacon of hope that could prove his saving grace. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling and Star Trek: Voyager actress Jeri Lynn Ryan headline this made-for-TV movie about a hardworking college student who thinks she's found the answer to her financial and self-esteem issues when she falls into the lifestyle of a high-priced escort. Lonely, plain-Jane, cash-strapped Joanna Halbert (Spelling) attends university classes while also helping out at the bakery run by her no-nonsense, widowed mother, Teri (Susan Blakely). When her classmates jokingly leave Joanna's name and number on the voicemail of a Malibu escort service, Joanna finds her curiosity piqued. After finding a new best gal pal in the form of the vivacious escort Kimberly (Ryan), Joanna soon finds herself working for Kimberly's boss, Ron Tamblin (Scott Plank), who promises her that she doesn't have to sleep with the clients she "dates." Soon, Joanna is dressing like a grown-up, stepping out with fabulous men -- and getting paid hundreds of dollars a night for her trouble. This secret double life soon, however, takes a toll on Joanna's relationships with her mother, her friends and her would-be beau, Jack (Barry Watson). Although Joanna chooses to sleep with one of her clients, she refuses to sleep with another. But when Ron threatens to fire her, she acquiesces, and soon Joanna finds herself going on more dates where the sex is not only compulsory, but kinky. When she tries to quit, violence ensues, ultimately leading Joanna to criminal court, where she must defend herself against a charge of attempted murder. After first airing on CBS in 1996, Co-Ed Call Girl enjoyed a second life on cable, including the Lifetime network. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide
