The premise

When her mother is killed in a mysterious house fire, rebellious teen Debbie Strand is sent to live with her grandmother, where she becomes even more unhinged. She develops an intense crush on her hunky creative writing teacher, Peter Rinaldi, but her numerous attempts at seduction end in failure. Soon Peter's friends start turning up dead, and he fears that his fiancée, Marilyn, may be Debbie's next victim.

Horror Vault's take

A troubled teenage girl with a violent past sets her sights on her creative writing teacher, and what begins as a one-sided infatuation quickly spirals into something far more sinister. As people in the teacher's inner circle begin to meet grim fates, the line between victim and predator becomes disturbingly blurred. Rose McGowan delivers a chilling performance as a young woman whose charming exterior conceals something deeply dangerous. This late-90s psycho-thriller keeps the tension simmering as the body count quietly climbs.
