In one of Wes Craven's better television movies (not as good as Chiller, though) Lori Locklin plays a criminal psychology grad Sally Powers, who uses her multiple personalities to track down a serial killer. She's partnered with burned-out cop James Remar (Dexter), who is also a legitimate suspect in the murders. Rather than showing us anything from the killer's perspective, events are seen through Sally's eyes.
In a scene reminiscent of Shocker there's a flashback sequence to Power's childhood--where she's the only survivor of a mass murder. The only way Powers escaped the killer was by crawling into a heating vent where he couldn't reach her. The event so traumatized her that every time she feels threatened she assumes a new personality, usually having to do with her present environment, like Woody Allen in Zelig, only a little more twisted. Since she was a victim, she assumes the role of each of the serial killer's victims--first an aerobics instructor, then a biker chick, and finally a wealthy socialite. Hanging out at the same locations where the murders happen make her a suspect as well. The chemistry between Locklin and Remar is great and the identity of the killer is unexpected, for a change.
