The Victim (2011 film)

The Victim is a 2011 American horror film directed, written and starring Michael Biehn and produced and costarring Jennifer Blanc. Thought to be a financial success due to Michaels effort selling out theaters across the nation, neither he or producer Jennifer Blanc know final sales figures due to open litigation with films investors.

Alan Cerny of Aint It Cool News characterized The Victim as a fun sleazy grindhouse film, in which Biehn was lauded for both giving a good performance and getting good performances out of his actors. Though Cerny stated that Biehns firsttime director effort exhibited imperfections such as a driving montage scene that he felt was too long, he appreciated that Biehn understood the genre in which he was working, commenting, Biehn has a clear path to what hes shooting for, and for much of the films running time, he gets it, and Its a specific genre with a specific style, and working from that, Biehn gets way more right than he does wrong.The New York Times said, Directing his own screenplay, Mr. Biehn working from a story by Reed Lackey pays more attention to genitals than spatial coherence, unaware that labeling a film grind house doesnt excuse soapopera emoting and laughable dialogue. Wait, what am I saying? Of course it does. The film has aapproval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based onreviews. ........
