Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan were fitness celebrities. Titus often finished in the top ten of International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation competitions and met his wife Kelly through these events. Before that, he’d been arrested for selling ecstasy and then violated his probation by doing steroids, but he had turned things around. Then, he and his wife hired Melissa James as a live-in personal assistant, but things went wrong.

Directed by Jodi Binstock (Prisoner of Love) and written by Maggie Mock (Tempted), this film casts Brock Yurich as Titus, Tory Trowbridge as Kelly and Paris Smith as Melissa. It tries to show each person’s point of view but quickly gets to the dark ending where the couple kills and burns Melissa in the back of a car.

In this movie, it’s difficult to tell if Craig ever loved Melissa, as he treats her horribly and then calls her right back, telling her that she’s perfect and that he needs her. What version of the story is telling this? Maybe he was all over the place, but his character is hard to pin down. Perhaps that was what it was like and why Melissa stayed around. Bonus points for a scene where she gets all coked up in a dance studio and starts doing multiple dance routines while calling him and screaming into the phone while she’s jamming out. His exasperation made me laugh as he shaved his chest in the shower.
