“A Murder To Remember” (**1/2 out of four) was an adequately done adaptation of Ann Rule’s novel about a couple (Maddie Nichols and Kevin Rodriguez) celebrating their anniversary on a camping trip which ends with him being killed; as the woman’s memories come piecing back together as she is investigated and interrogated by a seasoned small-town sherriff (Leslie Hendrix), she begins to suspect that there was more to this murder than meets the eye. Directorial debut from Robin Givens is moodily captured with eerie atmospherics and definitely a Hitchcockian storyline but it stops just short of hitting the mark. Final plot twist and finale is curiously subdued, as film holds your attention without fully detonating.
