I'm Dangerous Tonight is a 1990 American made-for-television supernatural horror film directed by Tobe Hooper and starring Mädchen Amick, Corey Parker, R. Lee Ermey and Anthony Perkins.
When Amy goes to Wilson's estate sale and purchases a trunk he owned for the school play, she sees the cloak and has visions of the murders.
After she brings the trunk to rehearsal, Eddie, who is playing Mercutio, tries the cloak on, gets into a violent swordfight with a fellow actor and is fired from the production.
Eddie invites Amy to the Easter dance; she declines, due to her caretaking responsibilities, but ultimately goes anyway, wearing her newly made dress.
Buchanan calls Amy at home to tell her that the dress hasn't been destroyed as she finds her aunt Martha has been murdered.
[5] From contemporary reviews, Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a D ranking, declaring, "The only reason I watched this hokey-sounding TV movie was to see Mädchen Amick, the much-abused Shelly, creepy Leo's wife, on Twin Peaks.
"[6] Tucker noted that Amick "goes from sedate college student to murderous temptress with ease", while concluding that "The rest of the movie is sanitized horror-movie piffle, with Anthony Perkins in a cameo role as — get this — a normal person.
"[6] Scott Williams writing for the Associated Press stated that the film "is well-directed even if it isn't particularly well-written", and that Hooper "creates some scary images and is still prodding the material for thrills even when the script has run out of steam.
"[7] Mike Duffy of the Detroit Free Press gave the film two stars, stating it was a "modest, melodramatic tale of the supernatural", adding that viewers should "turn off the brain.
"[3] In a 2022 review of the Blu-ray for Slant Magazine, Rocco T. Thompson compared the film to Peter Strickland's In Fabric (2018), adding, "The crewmembers behind the camera—especially cinematographer Levie Isaacks—do what they can to stretch the modest TV budget, but little of Hooper's presence is felt on screen.
