High School Lover (2017)
Rachel Winters
High school lover is a 2017 TV movie and the directorial debut of Jerell Rosales.

Her father, Rick Winters (James Franco), tries to intervene in the relationship when he realizes that it is developing into a dangerous obsession. Ashley Aufderheide plays Kelly’s younger sister, Rachel.
It’s an extremely campy movie that stretches disbelief at times, but it’s packed with some solid performances, including a smaller one from Aufderheide. Although the film has all the trademark stock expected from a live-action movie, the presence of Franco was a little strange at the time, but in the 2020s, it is just unfortunate that James Franco is in this particular role. Rachel only has a minor part in the story, but she works well with her co-stars and is far more competent than the child actors who often appear in similar Lifetime films.
