the audience applauded

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

It's a terrific TV movie, one of the kind that makes me believe that some good made-for-TV movies are way more catchy and well-played than the majority of cinema films that are overrated, not to say a piece of trash.A really affecting story about the murder of a teenage girl by her best friends. A true story turned into a movie in a wonderful way. The three lead actresses were awesome in their roles. Patty Duke is really good in portraying the tragic mother of the victim without a hint of exaggeration in her acting. Margaret Welsh is so good in the role of a girl with serious personality disorder that even her look is enough to convince you.Regarding Tiffani Thiessen in the role of the beautiful and sweet girl who gets killed by her friends, she is excellent. Thiessen's performance in the shocking scene of her murder makes you feel the tragedy and despair the victim is experiencing in the last moments before the inevitable happens.

Jenny Monroe gets murdered by her best friends Ellen Holloway and Carla Lewis. Kathy Pearl was the only one who knew it was them who killed Jenny. Ellen told her to keep her mouth shut. She grabbed a knife and left a cut on Kathy's face. The one day down in the woods Ellen and Carla faked a fight. Thats when it all went wrong. When Jenny tried to stop it, Ellen and Carla said "we don't hate each other, it's you we hate". They started pummeling on Jenny. They said "let's take a walk". The trail leaded to a creek. Thats where it all began. Carla pushed Jenny. Ellen cut Jenny's long brown hair. They both started Tring to kill Jenny. Then Carla tried to grab a log to drown Jenny but it was too heavy. Ellen Tried to help Carla lift the log. Once they got it they put it over Jenny and then she died.

As i only started watching the movie half way through because there was nothing better on, what struck me was how compelling the story was, as it was a a B-Movie with hammy acting, it spotlighted the issues that occur amongst teenage girls-its scary how powerful envy can be & how it can drive someone to such a horrible act- but i found it hard to believe ( as manipulative as Ellen was) how Patty Duke's character could not see through her -although i have to say that Patty Duke did a great service to the movie And Ellens character being so 2 faced and Clingy makes you detest her.Not a bad effort for a TV flick from the early nineties

A TV movie to watch! "A Killer Among Friends" is very dramatic and moving. It aired on t.v. as a "thriller" so I decided to give it a try and I got caught by it since the beginning. Tiffany Thiessen leads the young cast and let me say that she looks super hot and teases the audience with her beautiful legs and tight clothes; that's why her not so pretty friends were jealous about her.The rest of the cast is very good specially Patty Duke that gives a powerful performance as a mother living the worst nightmare. The killer (s) is someone you don't expect at the beginning but later in the movie it's a prime suspect.A good movie not to be missed.
