Obsessed with a Babysitter
Suzanne Austin (Arianne Zucker - Mommy Be Mine) is an incredibly busy woman who whilst juggling being a wife and mother is also the managing editor for the fashion magazine, Style Harmony. It is because of her job being so demanding and stressful, as well as Suzanne having had some anger issues, that her boss gets her an assistant called David (Brando Eaton), not that Suzanne is overly happy about being forced to have an assistant. But soon some strange things start to happen to Suzanne and those around her with Suzanne's begins to suspect David is behind things. Except one night after a heavy day she ends up drunk and spending the night with him which complicates matters.
There is something I didn't mention in that synopsis for "Killer Assistant" and that is the movie starts with a scene of a young boy walking in to a room to find his babysitter getting hot and horny with her boyfriend leading to the child, who is called Curtis, getting a ring to silence him. Now maybe it is just me, being a fan of TV movies, but when we meet the over eager David who seems to want to get very close and personal with Suzanne I immediately suspected that he was that young boy who is still obsessed with the babysitter or maybe wants to get his own back on her for broken promises.
Now I won't say whether David is the obsessed young kid from the first scenes, you can watch "Killer Assistant" to find out for yourself. What I am going to say is that Suzanne is a fascinating character as she has anger issues, trust issues and is a mix of super sexy and powerful. It means that you are never entirely sure which Suzanne we will get in a scene although you can bet she will be determined no matter what. In truth Arianne Zucker does play the part a bit too full on but it certainly makes her scenes entertaining especially with Brando Eaton playing it as over the top cool, charming and manipulative.
What this all boils down to is that "Killer Assistant" is certainly an entertaining made for TV movie but one which is kind of entertaining for being both obvious and over the top. In fact in some ways the entertainment is partly for what is kind of cheesy about the movie.
