A thriller about a maniac murderer who to the outside world is a celebrity TV presenter. His beautiful assistant, a woman who has fallen off the career ladder, is terrorized by him. A job-hunting animation artist gets caught in the world of glitter and glamour of the TV industry. Drugs and promiscuity are omnipresent. The animation artist falls in love with the assistant and his love is returned; together they uncover the true identity of the killer. Murderous Decisions is a special experiment: an interactive zap-movie, leaving it up to the viewer whether they follow the story from the male or female perspective. The movie is one of a kind, actually being two movies aired simutaneously on separate TV channels and allowing the viewer to switch back and forth at will.
