When the daughter of a powerful senator is kidnapped by a psychopath, the senator requests a particular homicide detective, Caitlyn Conner, to head up the case. She knows the kidnapper better than anyone else - he just killed her husband. Against the advice of her closest friend, a police psychologist, Caitlyn enters the killer's web of sadistic games and discovers the crime is far more twisted than anyone imagined.

Burden of Evil Audience Reviews

Wordiezett So much average
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
SnoopyStyle Caitlyn Conner (Natalie Zea) and husband Jamie are both police detectives. Kyle Randall is arrested when Jamie is ambushed and killed. Kyle manages to escape prison transport and kidnap Senator Pitfield (Michael Ironside)'s daughter. Kyle endlessly taunts Caitlyn with phone calls.This should be an action packed kidnapping thriller but it barely has any action. There is no intensity or thrills. It spends too much time trying to talk about Kate's psyche. This is strictly a B-level TV movie.
Mitzi DeMarco It was what I expected. To be honest, I only watched it because I am a new fan of Canadian actor Graham Cuthbertson. I became a fan of his thanks to his role (voice) in the video game Outlast Whistleblower. He voiced Eddie "The Groom" Gluskin. Anyway, it seems like one of those movies you'd see on Lifetime, I'm sure it aired at one time on that station. I was just happy to see Graham get quite a bit in this. He played Malcolm Gitteridge. I will say that I didn't expect his character to be helping the very young kidnapper. This kid did look like his was in high school. It was an OK film, I just skip to Graham's scenes.
brian-69774 I will not say much other than to say I was roped into watching this incredibly amateurish travesty. Although some films never portray real law enforcement work properly, this one goes above and beyond the call of duty to prove that: A. The writers and director have never met a police officer in their lives B. Some Canadian productions live down to our expectations from the 1970s C. Michael Ironsides still had a film commitment to finishIncredibly weak plot, no dramatic moments,insipid action scenes, and a robotic portrayal of a policewoman by someone who may some day be the best actress ever to appear on radio. At least there she will be able to lull us to sleep in the wee hours.The best thought is that if I can track down a DVD of this movie, it will make pretty flames in my fire pit.I will not say avoid it, because then people will seek it out and watch it...beware...dry heaves can hurt.
guil fisher Zea is so unbelievable in this trite story of a lady cop, if you can believe it, out for revenge, like most LMN so called thrillers. And our leading lady cannot act a damn. She flaunts around in too tight jeans, do cops really dress like that? Also unkempt hair all over her face. I have never seen a cop or detective in real life that looks like that.This is so unreal and acting so bad you want to never watch LMN again. I never heard of this Zea dame but hope to never see her again. On the bright side is the presence of Michael Ironside as the father of the kidnapped girl. What a waste of a good talent. He must have been keeping his talent in tact trying not to laugh at his co-star.Avoid this terrible film at all costs. Better to watch old movies of the 40s on TCM. So much better.
