What it aims to do is scare up some thrills and chills with a puzzling story about a murderer who's killing attractive young women in the most horrifying ways around Valentine's Day.
Throats are slit, and bodies are axed, pierced with arrows and electrocuted.
There is a spooky dark mansion and a lascivious detective who might be more at home in a Neil Simon spoof. But front and center are the women, who refuse to be victims until, of course, they get trapped and can't protest any longer because they're dead. Years later, Dorothy, as played by Jessica Capshaw, is rich, lonely and curvy. Her girlfriends, all single, are a jolly bunch. Shelton carries the proceedings with a winsome intelligence and femininity.
