(Some Spoilers) Leaving her future husband Quinn Harris,Don Harvey, cold and with his $5,000.00 wedding ring on the eve of their wedding day Barbara Richards, Tracy Gold, takes off to the Chicago airport to start a new life without him.
Spotting music student Brianne Dwyer, Mirellie Enos, at the airport the psychotic Barbara strikes up a conversation with her. Finding out that she's going to New Hampshire to attend collage Barbara then follows her into the ladies washroom where after murdering her stuffs her body into her suitcase and then takes on her identity.
At Wynton collage in NH Barbara, now known as Brianne Dwyer, gets to meet her new room-mate Jeanelle Polk, Shawnee Smith, and finds out that her dad, a widower, is the famous art critic as well as art connoisseur Russell Polk, Perry King. Russell ends up getting manipulated by Brianne when he comes to see his daughter with her using his and her mutual interest of the arts to get romantically involved with him.
Before you know it Russell falls head over heels for Brainne who's as young as his daughter and at the same time is too reality challenged to see what the evil Brianne/Barbara is really up to, this leads to a bloody confrontation between Brianne and Jeanelle at the conclusion of the movie. Even by then when it's all too obvious of what Brianne is and what she'planning to do still the doltish and naive Russell doesn't seem to have a clue about her intentions until almost the end of the film.
Having murdered both her parents in a house fire that she set at their home in Indio Calif. Barbara went on to murder a string of young girls, and then taking over their identities, for six years in over ten states before we were even introduced to her at the start of the film. The movie makes no sense at all with Barbara being able to get away with murder since she's so ridicules and stupid in the crimes that she commits that she should have been caught long before the movie even began.
After murdering Brianne at the airport what does Barbara do; stuffs her body into a suitcase and take it with her to NH. Why didn't anyone notice the smell of the decomposing body and alert the police airport or collage authorities? Brainne then takes the body, in the suitcase, with her to Jeanelle's dorm-room for at least two or three days which should have stunk up the place so badly that the collage authorities, as well as the local police, should have been alerted. Later Branni dumps the body in a construction site on the collage campus. It lays there for something like five months with nobody working on the site noticing or smelling it!
Barbara later does get to meet, unexpectedly, her estranged and outraged husband Quinn who tracked her down to Wynton Collage, only to be murdered by her later, when he saw a photo of one of her painting that she gave him in a local Chicago newspaper giving him her new name and where to find her. Only sweet and caring Jeanelle got the drop on the evil Barbara/Brainne and what her intentions were. Her dad, and even the collage staff, didn't seem to have any idea at all about Barbara masquerading around as Brianne even when the real Brianne's mom Evelyn Dawyer, Lynne Van Dam, came to visit her daughter and realized she was missing and that Barbara may well have had something to do with it.
The movie ended when Jeanelle, sick and tired of seeing her not to bright dad falling all over the sick and dangerous Barbara, confronted her at her fathers mansion. Jeanelle become engaged with Barbara in a vicious cat fight where Barbara tried to murder Jeanelle with a pair of scissors. Riussell even then was too brainless to realize what a lowlife and snake in the grass his new, and secret, love Barbara really was and it was only after he took a nasty bite, that almost ripped one of his fingers out, from her that finally convince him.
The ending made the movie even more off-the-wall that it already was with Barbara again tricking some dope, a cop this time, into letting her hands be freed while she was being taken to the county jail to be booked for murder. This gave you the impression that there's going to be a "Face of Evil II" released in the near future.
