Movie Connections edit
- Angels Fall (IMDb): The film revolves around Reece Gilmore (Locklear), the sole survivor of a massacre at the Boston restaurant where she worked as a chef. Reece wants to escape her life, so she hits the open road with no destination in mind, desperate for a fresh start. When her car gives out in a picturesque Wyoming town, Reece takes a job at the local diner, hoping to earn enough cash to keep moving. But as she gets to know the townspeople, mystery writer Brody (Schaech) in particular, she considers putting the past behind her and settling down.But then, while hiking, she witnesses a murder. Now, Reece is traumatized again, and not just by the killing; but also because, when the police go to check out the crime scene, there's no evidence of a murder taking place. The townspeople doubt her story, which leads everyone, including Reece, to question her sanity.
