Lower Level, A Hillary We are Cheering For

Unlike many battered, bruised and humiliated women in the 1990s, Elizabeth Gracen's sex with Bill Clinton was consensual. Unbeknownst to Hillary, the then Governor of Arkansas was enjoying extra-marital relations with former Miss America, Ms. Gracen. Hardly a sympathetic victim, Hillary didn't earn sympathy or affection from the beauty queen turned actress. In 1991 "Lower Level" would be released. Elizabeth Gracen would star in this thriller and portray a sultry architect beset by a sex-crazed psycho (...no, not Bill Clinton). Can you guess what Ms. Gracen's character is named? Yes! Hillary!

Sultry architect Hillary and her unsatisfying boyfriend Craig (Jeff Yagher) are the last to leave the building late at night. Our beauty designed this structure and she also loves to write her deepest most intimate thoughts in her diary. Enter security guard Sam (David Bradley). Entranced by Hillary and the thought of loving her he traps her and Craig in the parking garage. Hillary and Craig stop bickering and engage in pre-marital sex as Sam watches on surveillance cams. Afterwards, Sam makes sure Craig has an elevator accident and moves in on his object of desire. Oh yes, Sam is eager to be alone with Hillary and when he finds another amorous couple in another elevator, he turns homicidal.

It doesn't take Hillary long to figure out she is in danger. As Sam starts quoting her diary entries and shoots to death a pair of maintenance men, Hillary realizes she needs to run for her life. Sam is unrelenting and pursues his love interest all over the skyscraper. Unbeknownst to Sam, he failed to kill Craig who is now conscious again and determined to rekindle the spark with the former Miss America. With several kills under his belt in the pursuit of Bill Clinton's mistress, Sam will stop at no carnage to keep Hillary from Craig and also any other man. Guns, shards of glass, paper-cutters, elevators, and a bear-trap will figure prominent in the war between  damsel and madman.

Will Sam ever make Hillary believe that he is the only man for her? Will Craig pull himself out of the bottom of the elevator shaft in time to save Hillary's virtue?  Is the sexual-psycho Sam merely a foretelling of the the eight years of the Clinton reign? This is a pretty good thriller and whenever Sam or Craig yell "Hillary," we thank our lucky voting ballots that Elizabeth Gracen starred in this film rather than Hillary Clinton! Directed by Kristine Peterson, enjoy "Lower Level."
