Lethal Obsession (2010)
Horror Not Rated
Plot
An otherwise quiet college community is turned upside down when a serial killer begins murdering beautiful women. The only apparent connection between the victims is their employer, Elizabeth Waters, owner of www.obsessioncams.com ... a midwest fetish web cam site.
What makes these killings particularly heinous is that they happen live while the women are performing on the site. The local authorities have never had to deal with such premeditated gruesomeness. Only Detective Dennett, having left the crime-ridden streets of Chicago, knows how to approach this case. However, his recent departure from a metropolitan precinct was due to his mental inability to continue dealing with mindless violence.

Acting
Aside from one interrogation scene, the acting felt very unnatural, and more than once it looked like the actors where actually reading there lines.
Gore
Most of the kills occur off screen, some being lame and some pretty nasty. There is however much blood splatter, and a scene of a body being dissected and having organs removed.
Sex/Nudity
A girl flashes her web cam viewers just before dying, a girl wears a shirt with the boobs cut out, and others girls are dresses in various forms of fetish attire.
Final Thoughts
A short slasher flick, with a run time of 65 minutes, that's not original or unique but delivered decently with the gore and nudity, although it fails to do the same in any other area. It also had some direction and script issues as it focus far too much on one character, so we didn't give a crap about any of the people who are killed, it would also go from a long sequence with main storyline, then to a short scene of some random characters we don't know meeting there demise. Average effort overall, that could have been solid, given a better quality script, and some decent b-movie actors and actresses.
